This week, we’re imagining a rich-girl summer with the internet’s big sister turned bestselling author, Tinx. We discuss her debut novel Hotter in the Hamptons—a steamy, queer romance set in the glossy, high-stakes world of influencer culture, cancellation, and unexpected desire. Known for her “Rich Mom” starter packs and brutally honest advice, Tinx opens up about writing outside the male gaze, collaborating with a queer co-writer, navigating cancel culture, and the difference between performance and authenticity.
