divorce, montauk style

Summers on the eastern end of Long Island and divorce—two rituals fashion folk are extremely familiar with. These two topics set the scene for Laura Dave’s sophomore novel, “The Divorce Party.” Set in Montauk, N.Y., because the author “wanted to capture the glamour and exclusivity” of the area, it tells the story of a young engaged couple who are visiting the future groom’s family for the first time. Although they don’t know it on the drive out, their engagement announcement will be celebrated at his parents’ divorce party. “The Divorce Party” has already caught the eye of at least one person who has dealt with divorce and weekends by the ocean: Echo Films, the production company Jennifer Aniston founded with Kristin Hahn, has a movie based on the book in pre-production with Universal Studios. “I am really excited,” Dave says about the future flick. “I think I’ll wait till after that to think about what comes next for the Huntingtons.”
