Lovehampton had the misfortune of being my second Hamptons read this summer so I couldn't help but start comparing the two right away. A lot of it had the same story about share house life and rules and the hustle of getting out east from the city as quickly as possible every Friday.
The main difference is a decade. How The Other Half Hamptons is about gals in their early 20s. Lovehampton is about a house of 30-somethings. Lovehampton made me realize that I'm not in my early 20s anymo More...

When Tori Miller’s boyfriend dumps her in the cab ride home from her best friend’s wedding she is devastated and undergoes a severe downturn. She has no life to speak of for the next two years until her friends, seeing how far she has gotten away from her old self, stage an intervention. Jerry and Jimmy manage to snag her a spot in the pilot for a reality television make over show, promising her that it will never see the light of day, which will serve the much needed dual purpose of giving Tor

Tori (aka “Miller” to her Hampton housemates) is waking up after a two-year depression caused by the breakup with her boyfriend. With the help of her best friends, Tori is made over, has started her own business, and thrown into a house share with strangers in the Hamptons. As the summer progresses, Tori comes out of her shell and begins dating, she can’t help but wonder if “this new Tori” is the woman she truly wants to be.

It took me a few pages to really get into this one, but once I did it was worth reading. I thought it was going to be chick-lit, but it was "better" than that...if that makes sense.

CRAP! Three reasons...
1. I resent authors who are from NYC and feel that anything and anyone outside that sphere is complete hick. It's insulting. Man Camp is another shining example.
2. I am 31. The main character is 35ish. I outgrew her antics, pathos, and drama years ago. Grown woman do not behave like this. How am I supposed to relate?
3. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 be the height of plot climax, this was a two. Really? The big misunderstanding was over th More...

The introductions of so many characters at once in the beginning of the book made things a little confusing initially. But once you learned the characters the book was very enjoyable. Miller was an extremely likeable character that I imainge many women can relate to on some level. And the men in the book..my, my, my!

After a bad breakup, New Yorker Tori Miller's life spiraled out of control. Depressed, reclusive, unshowered, and decidedly un-waxed, Tori has spent two years virtually hiding in her Manhattan apartment and ignoring the outside world. When her friends decide they've had enough, they launch a campaign to help Tori re-emerge into the real world again, complete with a free makeover from the "Transformation Team" of the newest Queer Eye-esque reality show. The newly made-over Tori (aka "

Tori Miller's in a funk. She's lost her job and been dumped by her boyfriend. After a lengthy hiatus, her friends convince her to take a well needed vacation by sharing a house in the Hamptons for the summer weekends. To get her ready it, she is giving a makeover (which happens to be for a pilot of an upcoming reality show).
I have to admit that the set up to LoveHampton by SHerri Rifkin sounded hokey to me and if you stop long enough to think about the backstory, it does have a few More...

I would have given this book 3.5 stars were I able. I'm just not ready to commit to saying that I 'really' liked it. A good, if predictable, beach read, perfect when you don't want to have to concentrate too hard. The main character was very likable and for a change didn't embark on a series of zany adventures due to her inability to tell the truth. She was actually a very likable girl coming off a bad situation we can all relate to, and as a reaction to it, went a little overboard. Good book, I

I will preface my review by saying this: I knew this book would be fluff. I got it from the library and intentionally held it to read until I myself was going to the Hamptons, thinking that it would be fun to read a book that took place there.
For those purposes, the book satisfied. It appropriately name-dropped locations and situations in both the Hamptons and NYC, and it had the Hamptons-fantasy-world quality that you'd expect from a book like this, in the Lauren Weisenberger genre. More...

This was a fun easy read about some thirty-somethings staying in a summer house in the Hamptons. I had a little trouble keeping straight the girls in the book, not for lack of description or character development, but because I was pretty focused on the main character, who was very easy to like, in spite of a few bad decisions.

I'm about 70 pages in right now and I honestly can't take this book anymore. There is no substance whatsoever, I findmyself bored to tears and struggling to keep on reading. All this book is about is how rich everyone is, there's no character development and I'm not attached to any of the characters. What a waste of time. =( I have stopped reading this.

my beach read - finished in two days! normally, i don't expect much from a beach read yet this one was good.
i actually found myself flipping the pages wanting to know what kind of romp / drama / fashion "miller" was going to be in next! it's one of better beach reads in a while!

This was a great summer read... I could practically smell the Banana Boat wafting from the pages. It was a little disconcerting to read bout 30-somethings acting like high schoolers though...

An entertaining story about a woman who gets dumped, falls apart and then attempts to recreate her social life by getting a summer share in the Hamptons. Good beach read.
