Tinx Talks Summer’s Steamiest New Book and ‘The White Lotus’

If anyone’s going to convince us that summer 2025 is about being unapologetically horny, it’s Tinx.

The influencer, podcaster, and now author stopped by We Met At Acme to talk about her debut novel, Hotter in the Hamptons, a steamy, sapphic romp that blends rich mom energy with erotic escapism. “It’s a culmination of my love of being horny,” she said without hesitation. “My desire for other people to be horny. My love of rich mom backdrops. And my love of creative writing.” Add a vibrator to the book bundle, and you’ll get the summer starter pack 2025.

Rich moms’ fantasies come to life

Tinx fans will recognize the vibe immediately—a long-form version of her infamous “rich mom” Instagram content, only more explicit. And yes, there’s some girl-on-girl action. “It’s a little gay,” she admitted, “and I love that.”

While the book is pure fantasy, the themes—sexuality, validation, identity—are rooted in real, everyday questions borrowed from Tinx’s DMs. Like, is it normal to think about women during sex with your boyfriend? (Tinx says yes.) Or wonder whether you want kids at all?

Marriage? Kids? 

“I truly don’t know,” she confessed when the topic of motherhood came up. “I love my life so much right now that I can’t imagine changing it.” She added that she’s open to adoption, open to surprises, and totally not sweating the timeline. “I just thought I’d feel a stronger pull by now, but I don’t. So… we’ll see?”

Marriage? Same deal. “If I meet someone and they really want to get married, I guess I’d do it,” she shrugged. “But it’s not important to me.”

You may recall that Tinx previously opened up to SHE MD about her egg-freezing journey and struggles with PCOS and Hashimoto’s disease, so perhaps her line of thought is more protective than proactive.

The White Lotus: too much edge, not enough action

This brings us to The White Lotus, a show Tinx has strong feelings about—namely, that nothing is happening, and we’re all being strung along. “It’s too much edging,” she said, comparing it to a guy who kisses your neck for 45 minutes but never delivers. (Saxon, we’re looking at you.)

Speaking of Saxon—the cringey man-child played by Patrick Schwarzenegger—Tinx is skeptical. “There are people like that,” she said, “just not in New York City.” Her evidence? The misogynistic comments on her videos. 

And then there’s the incest subplot. “You don’t say your sister’s hot,” she said. “That’s so fucking weird.” If only Mike White took a few notes from Hotter in the Hamptons, we’d get less incest, more foreplay, and characters whose desires don’t make us cringe.

That said, she may have a different opinion after this week’s episode, which features Gaitok at a crossroads, Jaclyn, Kate, and Laurie imploding, Belinda wrestling with Gary/Greg’s indecent proposal, and the Ratliffs still being weird. 

The summer of Tinx is here

Still, Tinx is rooting for White Lotus to find its way back, just like she’s rooting for everyone to embrace their sexuality—whether single, married, reading spicy fiction, or watching slow-burn prestige TV.

Her advice for the summer? “Get horny. Masturbate. Explore. Let yourself go wild.” 

So until Max stops teasing and starts delivering, we’ll be here, reading Hotter in the Hamptons, manifesting a book-vibrator bundle, and hoping Saxon falls into a volcano.
