About this listen
A Reese Witherspoon x Hello Sunshine Book Club Pick and New York Times best seller
"Once again, Megan Miranda has crafted the perfect summer thriller." (Riley Sager, New York Times best-selling author of The Last Time I Lied)
The summer after a wealthy young summer guest dies under suspicious circumstances, her best friend lives under a cloud of grief and suspicion in this "clever, stylish mystery that will seize readers like a riptide" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) featuring "dizzying plot twists and multiple surprise endings" (The New York Times Book Review).
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.
Typically, fierce friendships never develop between a local and a summer girl - but that’s just what happens with visitor Avery Greer and Littleport resident Sadie Loman. Each summer for almost a decade, the girls are inseparable - until Sadie is found dead. While the police rule the death a suicide, Avery can’t help but feel there are those in the community, including a local detective and Sadie’s brother, Parker, who blame her. Someone knows more than they’re saying, and Avery is intent on clearing her name before the facts get twisted against her.
Another thrilling novel from the best-selling author of All the Missing Girls and The Perfect Stranger, Megan Miranda’s The Last House Guest is a smart, twisty listen with a strong female protagonist determined to make her own way in the world.
"A riveting read...from master of suspense, Megan Miranda," (Mary Kubica, New York Times best-selling author of The Good Girl) The Last House Guest is a smart, twisty listen that brilliantly explores the elusive nature of memory and the complexities of female friendships.

Odd narration
The story was pretty interesting but I found the narration off-putting. The voice did not match the character at least in my imagination. And there were times when the narration did not seem well-prepared (the emphasis on certain words in the sentence seemed odd).

Narration very good. I was surprised by many of the twists and turns. Got a little tired of some of the repeated phrases used to describe the feelings of the main character. Overall, the book grabbed and held my attention all the way to the end.

great listen
I love the story, fantastic listen, the reader did a great job and I was hooked. Great plot, lots of twists, honestly a great book overall. However there was 1 thing that annoyed me, "sneaked"...rather than snuck...very minor...but when you hear it, it's annoying and your inner grammar police comes out. Other than that I've already recommended the book to others as I did really enjoy the story line.

I wanted to like this book and the narrator spoke well, however I found it really confusing listening where the story would jump timelines, often going backward and forward in time. I wouldn’t recommend this for audio listening

Okay
Narration: 👍
Narrator voice was good. Not monotonous and able to pick up on different characters w/o being overdone.
Atmosphere: 🤔
Pretty well described, but flat. You could imagine any place with water, a cliff, and some trees. The town is repetitively described as an entity to the point of being assigned human traits. Hard to locate myself and if I let my imagination run wild it’d be smashed randomly. Lots of me going ‘wait, they ran past A to get to B… isn’t B on the other side of the town in the opposite direction?’
POV: 🥴
-MC is a young adult with some trauma and grief in their recent past and a bit obsessive/naively intrusive with their friend’s family. They’re making questionable decisions due to the trauma and lack of experience
-The MCs experiences are recounted late summer at a party, and then a year later. Same characters (er, minus one) and setting so it gets SO confusing as the timelines jump around AND it isn’t chronological within each year. I was lost for which year we were in if I missed the chapter heading or took a break. Easily could have written most of this chronologically in 2 parts (year 1 and 2).
Reading Journey: 😵💫
Scenic road trip to a cottage weekend, turns into “omg wtf Waze why are you taking us this route” arguments, turns into getting there late with everyone cranky and tired.
Side note: 😤
Begin rant >> Overall it was a good plot but the writing style and “villain”destroyed it. There were a lot of annoying world salads …kinda like “she took in the ocean breeze as a reminder of the town and it’s salty hold on those who crossed it’s path, like Sadie and so many of the memories she left behind”. The “divide” between townies and tourists was overly done trying to put the friendship between Avery and Sadie on Romeo and Juliet levels. << end rant
Show’n’tell: Mostly show, but weirdly. Like bringing a crayon on bring-your-pet-to-school day (is that still a thing?)
Good match if you like:
-late summer vibes
-party mysteries
-naive characters lacking self awareness (I love MCs like this)
-rich people behaving badly
-corruption
-villain monologue (for me, this instantly transforms an entire novel into a poorly animated children’s cartoon)
Vibes: ☺️🤨🫤
