Christina Tinx Najjar's debut novel, "Hotter in the Hamptons", draws from her personal evolution regarding the Hamptons, transitioning from skepticism to admiration for its allure. Initially critical of the area's unpredictability, her perspective shifted after spending summers with friends, appreciating its magic. With a substantial following on social media, Najjar reveals that writing fiction provided a personal outlet distinct from her public persona. The novel captures the vibrancy and chaos of the Hamptons' summer scene, inspired by audience curiosities, and Najjar envisions it as part of a broader series.
"When I started writing this book, I wanted to do something creative that was really separate from me since my whole job is sharing myself with the world. It turns out that writing fiction is one of the most personal things you can do!"
"I used to hate the Hamptons, she admits. I didn't get why people drove all that way for unpredictable weather and restaurants you can't get into. That changed when she rented a house of her own and filled it with close friends."
