Sunny Hostin’s New Novel Is “A Love Letter” To Her Best Friend

Sunny Hostin writes the books she wants to read, but can’t find at a bookstore. “I felt that there was this space of books that were light and interesting historical fiction beach reads,” The View co-host tells Bustle of her inspiration for her Summer Beach series. “What was interesting to me was they were rarely centered on women of color… as if we didn’t go to the beach,” she adds, laughing.

Hostin thought she was alone in desiring more diverse beach reads — so when she published her first novel, Summer on the Bluffs, in 2020, she was caught off-guard by the overwhelming response. And her newly published sequel, Summer on Sag Harbor, also rocketed onto the New York Times bestseller list.
