When are you thinking you want to start this one?It publishes Feb. 20.
Maybe sometime the first week of Feb?
My feb is pretty open. I’ll be hanging with my grandma and will have lots of free time.
That sounds nice!How about Feb. 5 for this one?
Perfect!
My request is still pending. Booo. I got denied the audio.
I read this on the plane the other day and finally found time to write a review. I also ended up giving this one 2/5 :(

Oh no! That is awful. I haven't started this one yet, but will be starting in the next day or 2. Did either of you dislike her others as well?
She is usually a hit for me.
Mixed bag for me. I’ve read 3 other books by the same author and given them 2, 3, and 4 stars. I was hopeful about this one since I had both a 3 and 4 star rating in the past.
I finished this on my plane too!Hated it - seemed like a different author wrote it...
Very disappointing!
I just finished The Guest. It was awful.
welcome to the club Elyse :(
You guys are definitely making me glad I skipped this one 😬😬I hope your next one is better!
New York Times bestselling author B. A. Paris captivated psychological thriller readers everywhere with Behind Closed Doors. Now she invites you into another heart-pounding home full of secrets, in The Guest.
Some secrets never leave.
Iris and Gabriel seem to have it all: a beautiful home in the British countryside, a daughter happily working in Greece, and good friends Laure and Pierre from Paris, who they often vacation with. But when a young man has a tragic accident in a nearby quarry, Gabriel is the one to find him and hear his final words, leaving Gabriel with a guilty burden.
As Iris tries to help ease her husband’s trauma, they acquire an unexpected house guest. Laure has seemingly moved in after her husband’s revelation that he has had a child with another woman. Iris and Gabriel insist Laure stay as long as she needs. But Laure keeps wearing Iris’s clothes, following her every move, and asking her about the recent death of the young man.
Their only respite from the increasingly tense atmosphere in their own home comes from a couple new to town and expecting their first child. But with them comes their gardener, who has a checkered past.
With fractured relationships and secrets piling up around them, can Iris and Gabriel’s marriage survive?
