Hotter in the Hamptons

A Novel

De: Tinx

Narrado por: Bailey Carr

A dizzying, enemies-to-lovers romance that devolves into a simmering love triangle from viral content creator Tinx, "TikTok's Big Sister."

Travel to the heart of the Hamptons in an irresistible summer fling from New York Times bestselling author Tinx!

As New York City's fashion it-girl, Lola has been living her dream. But when her career comes to a screeching halt after a very public snafu, everything Lola has worked for–her loyal following, her designer closet, her perfect boyfriend–starts to go up in flames. And when notorious culture critic Aly Ray Carter lights the final match by writing a scathing exposé, it feels as if Lola has lost it all.

When Lola flees to the Hamptons to escape her mistakes, she expects to spend her summer drinking Minuty by the pool while carefully rebuilding both her confidence and her brand. Instead, she looks over the trimmed hedges to see none other than her rival and newest neighbor: Aly Ray Carter.

As summer blazes on, Lola is swept into an intoxicating situation with the woman who ruined her life, marred by chaos and confusion as she tries to pinpoint why Aly has her so captivated. She thought the Hamptons would be the perfect place to outrun her mess, but quickly realizes there's no place to run.

Tinx’s voice!

A light and easy story with some semi-deep existential thoughts. A bit slow moving sometimes but overall fun. The performance wasn’t my favorite - not the voice and style I think this story needed, exactly. But still overall enjoyable. Yay, Tinx! 🩵

I was hoping for more

As a Tinx fan, I regret to say that this book felt like a retelling of her own life and sex fantasies. It felt unoriginal. The writing was elementary, feeling more like a first draft than a final one. I was hoping for more.

Couldn’t paint the picture, could only drop fashion names. Without context or additional description, the average reader won’t have a clue what is going on. It felt very underdeveloped.

I will say the biggest redeeming factor of this book is that the smut scenes were some of the best I’ve read.

I do have to say though, I couldn’t put it down. I can’t determine if that’s because I’m an avid Tinx fan and want to give her the benefit of the doubt or if it’s because it was a catchy story. Either way I was unfortunately underwhelmed and probably wouldn’t recommend this book.

Very mediocre

I had higher expectations. I’m a tinx fan and thought this would be more like “Crazy Rich Asians”. It lacks character depth, is trying to be a 50 Shades of Grey, but doesn’t hit. Don’t recommend,

Can’t get passed the annoying narrators style

I preordered and was looking forward to it, but the narrator's forced sexy tone was such a deterrent. It was disconcerting and I couldn’t get past the second chapter.

Pink Miu Miu Flats

You can tell Tinx liked Big Swiss. Narration was a lil too cringe for me.

Fan of the narrator, not a fan of Tinx

Every queer character in this book is a trope. As a lesbian, I can honestly say the characterization of ARC as a straight-chaser was frustrating. But, I loved the way BC performed and delivered this story. She kept me engaged and entertained in something I would certainly have DNF'd, had I read the physical book. Will be following to see what she reads next.

Navigating what you want

A modern story about an influencer who thinks she might lose it all but goes through the trenches of how she needed that moment though. She has challenges with her internal problems, relationship and navigating sexuality.

Easy summer read!

This is enjoyable and the perfect beach or summer read. So proud of Tinx’s fictional debut!

Nothing new, nothing exciting

Underdeveloped characters, boring, redundant. Predictable. Too many stolen references from other characters. It was a waste of time and money

Turn narration speed up to 1.2

Great story Tinx!! fingers crossed this becomes a series to continue! Great characters.
Only issue was performance, had to re-start 4x after slow soft narration, tip: turn narration speed up to 1.2 to get engaged! Hope that helps anyone who struggles to get hooked in.
