ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“The Guest” by Emma Cline follows Alex, a young woman who finds herself staying at Simon’s luxurious Hamptons estate. Running from a troubled past and a controlling relationship with Dom, Alex desperately tries to fit into Simon's wealthy world, using deception to maintain her place. As she navigates the glamorous yet superficial social circles of the elite, she grapples with her own insecurities and growing paranoia. The novel explores themes of identity, class disparity, and the consequences of living in a world built on illusions, focusing on Alex’s internal struggle to survive and belong in a world that feels increasingly out of reach.
