The Guest by Emma Cline Discussion

[@007mdub]

I love this video. Your discussion points helped me digest the book. I wish videos like this happened more on booktube - tackling themes, reading valuable passages, really diving into the writing style. So so good.

i love how much I hated Alex. There were so many times I was like “she’s finally about to get what she deserves.”

great video & spot on discussion points!! Came here directly after finishing because the ending had me at a loss for words - also love your point about how valuable it is to be a more empathetic reader!

I am very motivated becoming an Emma Cline reader after this great video. I like the way the tension between insiders and outsiders being portrayed. It looks like in our world, the new cast system is accepted by the majority and it is safe for everyone to remain where they are. The ones who attempt to move up are outcasts who will always live under the stress of being identified. I also felt like she is very regretful about the life she has chosen and targets she has put forward. This anxiety sounded very much of a religious subconscious living in each individual even if we think we are ultra secular.

I call it the skittles section because all romance books are the colors of a bag of skIttles
