- LUCY FOLEY,
<b><i>Bad Summer People</i> is a great summer page-turner packed with sun-soaked secrets, outrageous scandals and salacious gossip. Its cast of gloriously terrible one-percenters and the caustic wit dripping from each page make this a perfect rich-people-behaving-badly beach read. Loved it!</b>
- ELLERY LLOYD, AUTHOR OF THE CLUB,
<b>Mark your calendars, this is going to be HUGE. It's whip-smart, gossipy, beachy vibes, with page-turning thrills. Like <i>Rivals </i>meets <i>Malibu Rising </i>with Nancy Mitford-esque observations. The ultimate beach read with edge. Loved it</b>

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
<b>What could be more fun than the misfortunes of a gilded group with more money than morals? This irresistible satire set on Fire Island, the summer playground for super-rich Manhattan families who indulge in back-stabbing and casual cruelty along with barbecues, bake offs, talent shows and tennis lessons, has distinct "White Lotus" vibes - beginning with the discovery of a dead body. Who is the unfortunate whose summer has come to a sticky end, and who was responsible? There's fun to be had finding out. Rosenblum clearly knows her territory, this is pure pleasure.</b>

<b>Awful rich people on their summer holidays having affairs and secret money worries, it is DELICIOUS</b>
MARIAN KEYES
<b>This roiling beach community satire serves up </b><b>wicked, clever fun that is<i> </i></b><b><i>White Lotus</i></b><b> sharp. Emma Rosenblum gets to the comic heart of these nasty, nasty people. When I say she is unsparing and they are dreadful I mean it as the highest compliment.</b><b> It is sinfully good like a summer cocktail you want to keep refilling. I found myself laughing out loud as I read and staying up way too late with this fabulous book </b>
- KEVIN KWAN, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF CRAZY RICH ASIANS,
<b>An intelligent, stylist, and compelling read that you won't be able to put down. Packed with gossip, slander and bad bad deeds and I enjoyed every salacious word of it. Fans of <i>The White Lotus </i>will devour this in one sitting</b>

GRAZIA UK BOOK CLUB
<b>I am 100% invested in all the petty (and not-so-petty) drama of the delightfully messy residents of Emma Rosenblum's Fire Island.</b><b> I like my beach reads either twisty, steamy, or funny and </b><b>- </b><b>lucky me </b><b>- </b><b>this was all three. <i>Bad Summer People</i> will absolutely be the book I push on all my friends this summer</b> <i> </i>
- CHANDLER BAKER, AUTHOR OF WHISPER NETWORK,
<b>Addictive, sharp, sexy as *hell* - which is surely where these brilliantly bad Fire Island frenemies are headed . . . A watermelon margarita (with a twist) of a book. Gulped it down!</b>
- FRAN LITTLEWOOD, author of <i>Amazing Grace Adams</i>,
<b>Like a tidbit of gossip flowing by on the sea breeze, </b><b><i>Bad Summer People</i></b><b> is</b><b> irresistible. Funny, sexy, and scary, it made me eager to eavesdrop but glad not to be entangled in the vacation scandals dreamed up by Emma Rosenblum in her juicy debut</b>
