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.

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.

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! 🩵

Character development

This was not my regular choice but I really liked it. The character developed was excellent, I didn’t get references concerning fashion but I got the point. I had a mental
Vision of each character- it was fun. Lots of sex scenes - learned lots about girl on girl sex - which was fun. Life at 30 … is always fun

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.
