Book Club Monday

posted on : May 29, 2017 posted by : nicolesteinthal 0 Comment

Happy Memorial Day!!! I just love this week’s Book Club Monday choice!!!  It is It Happens In The Hamptons:A Novel by Holly Peterson.  The Hamptons is one of my favorite places soooo I know this book is going to be fab.  I cannot wait to read it …here is the story:

When Katie Doyle moves across the country to the Hamptons, she is hoping for summer employment, new friends for her young son, and a chance to explore a new love affair with a dazzling investor. What she finds is a strange cocktail of classes, where society’s one-percenters vacation alongside local, hard-working people who’ve lived in the Hamptons for generations. Though she’s looking forward to their move, Katie is wary about mingling with her boyfriends’ East Coast elite circles. She soon discovers Southampton isn’t all that it seems to be on the surface—and neither are the people who live there.
As George takes Katie on a whirlwind tour of country clubs, haute couture, and lavish events, she is amazed to witness sudden whims become dire needs, extra-marital affairs blossoming right and left, and people purchase friends and loyalties like a pair of shoes. Even the middle-class townspeople maintain a determined façade while maneuvering like sharks among the wealthy summer invaders.
The more Katie becomes immersed, the more she learns the secrets of both the upstairs and downstairs, the upper crust and middle of the road. The combustion between the classes becomes explosive as the summer tears on. Betrayals, a sexual predator, and a missing person lost in murky waves drive the reader on a racing Learjet ride through impossible twists and turns until landing at the shocking conclusion. When she meets Luke, a local surfer and middle school teacher, he makes her question what it is she really wants as she understands the life she’s begun for herself is built on shifting Hamptons’ dunes. – Amazon.com

Fashionable Friend Friday

posted on : May 26, 2017 posted by : nicolesteinthal 0 Comment

This week’s Fashion Friend Friday is Glenn Close.  She is starring once again as Norma Desmond, in a limited Broadway engagement of Sunset Blvd. Last night I joined Show Score for their Member’s Night at Sunset Blvd.  I can honestly say that this was one of the most amazing Broadway performances I have ever seen. Glenn Close’s Norma left me speechless.  She was absolutely incredible.  I could watch her again and again and again.  For more information or to purchase discount tickets, click HERE.
