Book Overview
One house. Forty strangers. Add vodka and stir . . . Every summer, scores of Manhattan twentysomethings take part in an annual ritual with a camp-like culture distinctly its own: the Hamptons sharehouse. When Rachel and her two best friends buy their shares for twenty times each of their bank balances, they're imagining days filled with lazy suntanning and classy clambakes and nights spent rubbing shoulders with the Olsen twins and other celebrities. But once they arrive at 1088 Montauk Highway on Memorial Day weekend, they find that the reality falls a bit short. What looks like any other million-dollar mansion--on the outside--plays host to drunken escapades, explicit nudity, hot tub hookups, hideous hangovers, and juvenile mischief on the inside. As housemates jockey for limited bathroom time and beer pong mania takes over the house, Rachel finds herself wondering if it's possible to find true love--or even just survive the summer--in The Hamptons.

Best Hamptons book on the market!!!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I'm a huge Hamptons fan who has done a share for many years. There is no other book on the market that gives as realistic an account of what the twentysomething experience is like. This book would make a great TV show! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an entertaining but clever beach read, and I can't wait to read this author's future work!
Excellent!

I loved this book! I read it as a summer-read last summer while vacationing at the Cape, and I couldn't put it down! Characters are fun and easy to follow. They could be my own friends.
An entertaining read...

When most people think of the Hamptons, they think of the affluent. How The Other Half Hamptons gives readers a completely different view of life. Rachel, Jamie, and Alison head to the Hamptons for the summer. Forty unique personalities sharing a ten bedroom house makes for endless parties and endless fun. How The Other Half Hamptons had me laughing out loud (that's a little embarrassing in a doctor's office). Jasmin Rosemberg has a talent for writing with great humor and expression. Women in their twenties and thirties will love How The Other Half Hamptons.
New Favorite Author!

This book is my favorite read this summer! I could not put it down. And I would have finished it in less than the time it actually took me to read it, but I was laughing so hard I had to keep reading parts out loud to my friends! You will too. The attention to detail is flawless and you'll feel like you are right there in the middle of the story. While some authors are known for their "fictional" take on what happens behind the scenes in worlds that most of us can only read about, Jasmin Rosemberg is clearly the expert on the Hamptons and NYC scene--watch out Lauren Weisberger! I can't wait for the next book to come out!
The quintessential summer beach read!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Jasmin Rosemberg has created the quintessential summer beach read! If you like Emily Giffen (Something Borrowed, Something Blue), Jane Green (Mr. Maybe)or Lauren Weisberg (The Devil Wears Prada) you will LOVE this! The characters are likeable, funny and easy to relate to. Rosemberg's writing is witty and eloquent. I highly recommend this book! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this, cover to cover!
