One possible reason could be that the guest is an avid reader and wants to explore a new fictional world. Novels offer a great escape and the guest might be looking for that.
It could also be that the guest is simply looking for something to pass the time. Novels are a great way to spend leisure hours, whether it's during a long journey or a lazy afternoon. They can get engrossed in the story and forget about the outside world for a while.
One reason is the lack of access to all features. For example, they can't save their progress or customize their avatars much. This makes it hard for them to fully engage in the game and can lead to a sad feeling.
There could be a guest who was traveling to see his sick relative. But due to flight delays and cancellations, he missed the chance to see his relative one last time. He was filled with regret and sadness. He sat in the airport, feeling empty and broken - knowing that he would never get to say goodbye to the person he cared about so much. This is a really tragic guest sad story.
Perhaps in the story there was a magic spell or curse involved. For example, the family was under an evil spell that made them act irrationally towards the guest. The 'bentover naked punished' could be part of a strange and dark ritual that was wrongly directed at the guest.
Maybe someone bumped into the shelf and knocked the book down. Simple as that!
I'm not sure specifically as there could be many novels with that name. It might be about the stories or messages left in a guest book, perhaps in a hotel, inn or some special place.

Since I don't know this novel in detail, it might be that the 'guest book' serves as a central element around which the plot revolves. Maybe different guests write in the book, and their entries somehow connect the characters and events in the story. It could be about the relationships formed through these written messages in the guest book.
It could also be that the 'guest book' in the novel is a metaphorical one. Maybe it represents the memories or interactions that the characters have with the various people who come into their lives, and the novel is about how these 'guest' - like encounters shape the characters and their journey.
Well, 'guest book novel' could be a very unique genre. Maybe it's a novel that uses the idea of a guest book as a narrative device. For example, the different characters in the novel could be like the guests signing the book, and each entry in the guest book could represent a different chapter or plot point in the story. It could also be a novel set in a place where a guest book is central, like a small inn or a historical building.
She might be part of a book club or reading group that he is also in, and she is passing on the book as part of the group's sharing activity.
It could be that the lighting conditions are not good. For example, if it's too dim, she might need to squint to read the fanfiction book clearly. Also, if the font size is too small, that can cause her to squint as well.
