'The View' host Sunny Hostin didn’t really feel the pressure until her third book, set in the historically Black beach community of Sag Harbor.
“And over and over again, although everyone told me how relatable it was and how they saw themselves and how much they loved the book, many people said, ‘What about Olivia? Olivia got the short end of the stick,’” she says of her character. “I actually didn’t feel that way. I thought Olivia did fine, but people wanted to know more about her story and her journey.”
“I wanted to celebrate these historically Black beach communities. And there aren’t that many of them. Actually, in the U.S. there are only three that are really still vibrant. We all know the story of Bruce’s Beach and how it was taken away,” she says of the Black-owned beach in Manhattan Beach, California, that was seized by municipal leaders. “I knew it was going to be in Sag Harbor, but I didn’t know that it was going to be Olivia’s journey. My readers taught me that.
Due to her job Hostin is usually reading heavy material for the show, so when she gets to read for pleasure she reaches for a beach read.
