I wanted to read this after seeing the Catskill resort portrayed on Prime Video's The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Turns out they did their research because I found much that was familiar while reading this memoir. I had always heard about the Catskill resorts (but have never seen Dirty Dancing) and accordingly to the author Grossinger's was one of the first and most well-known.

I enjoyed the book for the way the author recreated the 1940s and 1950s time period, values, and celebrities, and I could easily imagine my East Coast relatives spending their summer vacations there.

In addition to the behind-the-scene stories of how Grossinger's was run, the author shared her personal life and experiences, both with family and friends, many of them celebrities. I found this personal aspect to be somewhat poignant and would have liked a story that focused on her life with Grossinger's as a backdrop, instead of the other way around.
