BEST BETS

June 24, 2008

BOOK IT

Bestselling author Jane Green reads from her latest comedy of manners, "The Beach House," a novel that's on our syllabus of required summer reading. At 7 p.m. tomorrow at Book Revue in Huntington, 631-271-1442.

SEE IT

Get a great view of the July Fourth Jones Beach fireworks - see them by boat. More than a dozen vessels will cruise from Captree Island around

6 p.m. to see the show. Tickets are $40-$45; details at captreefleet.com.

STYLE MAKER

The dress Michelle Obama wore on "The View" last week - a $148 leaf print from White House/Black Market - is a hot seller, probably even sold out by now. But the chain promises more on the way in September. Store locations at

whitehouseblackmarket.com.

LAST CHANCE

"Shanghai Moon" wraps up this week at Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor. Shows are at 8 p.m. today through Saturday. The final performance is 7 p.m. Sunday. $50-$65, 631-725-9500.
