Congratulations to all!
I’d like to go the World Dog Expo, eat food from as many cultures as I can, go shopping in Tiffanys and relax in Central park
I would love to go to New York again to go to the Empire State Building and have another cookie ice cream sandwich from Jacques Torres in Brooklyn, and I would love to go to The Hamptons in Suffolk county as I am from Suffolk in the UK! But your Suffolk sounds a lot more upmarket!
I’ve been to NYC a couple of times but have never had time to visit the famous Hamptons I have read about so much.
Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. Pizza at Grimaldi’s and a carriage ride in central park.
Love visiting locations I’ve read about in books and seeing the places and things that have inspired the writer to add them to their works ……love getting lost in a good book which makes you feel you are “on set”
I’d love to revisit New York with my husband and relive some happy memories from our honeymoon.

A wonderful writer.
I’m already at both New York and The Hamptons with another book, The Pool House by Tasmina Perry. They both sound wonderful but I think I’d go for The Hamptons, slightly more quiet perhaps?
I’d love to go to both places to people watch, and admire the stunning architecture.
I’d love to visit the Hamptons because it always sounds so glamorous whenever I read about it or watch movies. Thanks for the opportunity to enter!
New York never gets old and the Hamptons would be interesting to see, considering it’s the weekend getaway for wealthy New Yorkers.
Curiosity! I have heard so much about the Hamptons. I’d love to snoop around.
Just to sit with a book doing the occasional bit of people watching …bliss.
I love ny and would love to take my kids there! Never been to the Hamptons but they sounds great!
I have wonderful memories of my daughter’s wedding in New York. One of the other guests came from the Hamptons and we’d love to go there and visit him some day.

Indeed, what a wonderful memory. The Hamptons do sound great, but my knowledge is purely from reading fiction! TF Tina
I have been to New York but not to the Hamptons. I like to people watch. Reckon it would be an eye opener watching people with too much money and time on their hands.

It would be a brilliant place to people watch, I am sure!!
I’d love to go to NY city … always wanted to see the brownstone whee Barry Manilow was born and also visit a NYC Police Station as my first love was Chris Cagney! And The Hamptons are supposed to be beautiful too! Never been to the USA …. one day maybe x

Gosh, that takes me back. Yes, a visit to NYC would be wonderful!!!
I would love to visit The Hamptons, pretend I was posh & monied, spend time on all the beaches & eat lots of wonderful seafood!
Failing that, I would love to win a copy of ‘The Wife’ so I can immerse myself & just pretend I am at The Hamptons! 🙂

Trip to MOMA or a walk in Central Park

Two great things to do!!
I would want to visit The Hamptons as I’d be interested to see more of the glamorous life that is portrayed in media and maybe experience it a little myself!

Yes, wouldn’t it be fun. My only knowledge of the Hamptons is what I read in fiction, but would like to go too! TF Tina
I would love to visit New York because my cousin & family are moving there in the summer & it would be lovely to catch up with them all. I’m actually not sure where or what The Hamptons is, opps!

That will be an amazing opportunity to visit. I always associate the Hamptons with people like the Kennedys, various villages on Long Island, I think, a Summer holiday place….
The Hamptons is one of those areas mentioned so many times in Books and TV series I’d just love to see it for myself!

I know! My knowledge of the Hamptons is what I have gleaned through fiction…. TF Tina
I will love to visit The Hamptons as I love the seaside and the beautiful houses near by

I bet it would be a lovely place to visit!
I’d like to see the statue of liberty and the amazing skyscrapers in New York.

They would be beautiful to see!
I’ve been to New York, I was lucky enough to win the trip there. Just a few days but it was long enough for me to fall in love with the city, and know that I want to go back some day…. with lots of money to spend on Broadway shows! I’ve never been to the Hamptons, but I watch Barefoot Contessa on tv, and it looks amazing.

Sounds like a lovely trip. Yes, what one could do with money in NYC… hope you get a trip planned soon!
I haven’t been to New York since before I was 21 so would love to go for the bars and nightlife!

The city that never sleeps …
NY is on my bucket list. I’ve never been and would love to see and experience the touristy and also the not so well known parts of the Big Apple.

Hope you get to go soon!!!
Wow! Just reading about the storyline gave me chills!
Sounds really interesting and a page turner.
Thank You for the chance! X

I really enjoyed it! And loved the portrayal of NYC and the Hamptons and the characters even visit real restaurants (one of which is Alafair’s local eatery)
I’d love to go shopping in New York and ride around in a yellow taxi

A walk around Central Park or a trip to MOMA
new York is on my wish list
I would love to visit and see New York, however although The Hamptons is often mentioned in books you rarely see it featured in films, so I would love to visit The Hamptons in particular, just to see if it looks the same in real life as it does in my mind’s eye.
