Don’t waste your time!

Lousiest book I have ever read! Tried reading 5 chapters & barely could get through those. This book is going into the donation pile, that or the trash.

amusing summer breeze

Manhattan media expert Tori Miller feels her world is imploding when the love of her life dumps her with no warning and her employer dumps her with even less warning. Still Tori somewhat rebounds from her woes by opening up her own production company, MillerWorks. However her two "J" employees and her buddy Alice worry about her depression and rejection of males. They form the "Transformation Trio" using Tori as the first makeover on their new TV reality show. The new glamorous Tori joins a Hampton time sharing summerhouse with five yuppies. The rules drive her crazy as they change before she can learn them and contradict one another so one is doomed to break them. Still that insanity does not prevent her from trysting with housemate Andrew Kane or helping another mate Cassie Dearborn with her escapades. LOVEHAMPTON is an amusing summer breeze as Tori takes over the Hamptons. The support cast is strong in Manhattan and on Long Island, but the tale belongs to the star as Tori finds this is the most wonderful summer of her life even as she breaks the sacred timesharing taboos.

More than a "beach read"

LoveHampton I have just finished reading Lovehampton and enjoyed every minute of it - surprising since I am a grandmother of eight! Perhaps it is because I also have daughters - or I related to the personalities of the group and Sherri sustained my interest in their development. Read this on whatever level you choose and you will find that it is a GREAT beach read, but also so much more!

I fell in love ...

I bought this book thinking I would take it to the beach with me on Memorial Day weekend, but then I started reading it and couldn't put it down (now I need to find something else to read)! It's as fun and funny as several Sex and the City episodes, with totally lovable and relatable characters (you'll even love the "baddies" for how bad they are). It really captures the essence of summer shares, Hamptons-mania, the trek to the beach, the feelings of inadequacy in the face of great beauty and wealth, the sweetness of a first kiss with a new boyfriend/girlfriend. A great beach read, a real mini-vaction.

MUST READ!!!

This is the perfect summer book. I couldn't put it down! It keeps you wondering how it will play out till the very last page. I can not wait for her next book!

One copy of the book is not enough, because everyone wants to borrow it....

What a read! This book has its own unwritten rule # READ IT you will have fun, learn how to get your man and wish you were wherever Torri goes. And she goes EVERYWHERE! I already bought 7 copies for friends summer reading, and the readers have done almost the same! andrea valeria, astrologistic author.
