If you like ... The Real Housewives of New York City, you'll love Lovehampton, a new read from first-time author Sherri Rifkin. The story revolves around Tori Miller, a thiry-something New York TV-promo producer who attempts to shake up her dull life by going in on a summer share house in the Hamptons. Always wonder why Jill, Ramona, and the gang are so obsessed with the Hamptons? We can't promise this book will explain it (because sometimes those women are truly enigmas), but it will certainly help you get a little more familiar with the scene there.

We gotta say, we read the whole thing (yes -- we don't just watch TV all day), and not only is it a fast read, but it's kind of addictive! So pick up a copy and drop it in your tote on the way to the beach this weekend. If you read it, let us know what you think!

If you liked this recommendation ... you'll love that we'll be doing them on a regular basis now! We'll be searching for books, films, and random paraphernalia that might interest you, so please send along any suggestions if you have them.
