Long Island, New York does not only take pride in its white-sand beaches, historical and art museums, and the Hamptons restaurants. It is also home to book lovers and writers looking for inspiration for their next masterpiece.
Check out these top five books set in the Hamptons that will convince you to visit the island, or plan another trip in one of U.S.’ most popular summer destinations.
Scandalous by Ella Steele. This New York Times and USA Today bestseller is a romance book series between an idealist girl named Abby, and the one who broke her heart 10 years ago, Jack. After joining a congregation, Abby decided to go to Long Island where she found a job in an art studio, which led her to Jack. Their second encounter would ignite Abby’s old feelings for Jack, which she thought was only hatred and sense of rejection.
This novel perfectly depicts how the Hamptons attracts artistic souls, not only in book plots, but also in real life. Andy Warhol lived in this charming town before due to its unique architecture, which seemed like a melting pot of Polynesian and Tudor design.
Ella Steele is a pen name used by bestselling American author H.M. Ward.
