The Vibe

Lola Fine has built a carefully curated life as a New York fashion influencer, complete with a devoted following, designer clothes, and a picture-perfect public image. After a very public misstep sends her career into a tailspin, she retreats to the Hamptons hoping for a quiet summer to regroup and rebuild.

Instead, she discovers that her new neighbor is Aly Ray Carter, the sharp-tongued culture critic whose scathing profile helped bring Lola's carefully constructed world crashing down. Aly is the last person Lola wants anywhere near her, which makes the attraction between them all the more inconvenient.

As the summer heats up, so does the tension between these two very different women. Their rivalry gives way to a complicated connection filled with temptation, vulnerability, and plenty of emotional chaos. Set against a glamorous Hamptons backdrop, the story explores attraction, self-discovery, and what happens when the person you cannot stand becomes the person you cannot stop thinking about.

With its poolside glamour, sharp banter, messy romance, and steamy summer atmosphere, Hotter in the Hamptons is a fun pick for readers looking for contemporary sapphic romance with a celebrity-adjacent edge and plenty of heat.
