The summer after a wealthy young summer guest dies under suspicious circumstances, her best friend lives under a cloud of grief and suspicion.<\/p>\n
Littleport, Maine, has always felt like two separate towns: an ideal vacation enclave for the wealthy, whose summer homes line the coastline; and a simple harbor community for the year-round residents whose livelihoods rely on service to the visitors.<\/p>\n
Typically, fierce friendships never develop between a local and a summer girl\u2014but that\u2019s just what happens with visitor Sadie Loman and Littleport resident Avery Greer. Each summer for almost a decade, the girls are inseparable\u2014until Sadie is found dead. While the police rule the death a suicide, Avery can\u2019t help but feel there are those in the community, including a local detective and Sadie\u2019s brother, Parker, who blame her. Someone knows more than they\u2019re saying, and Avery is intent on clearing her name, before the facts get twisted against her.
\nThe Last House Guest is a smart, twisty read that brilliantly explores the elusive nature of memory and the complexities of female friendships.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
