A Good Morning America Buzz Pick A Can’t-Miss Beach Read For Summer 2021 from The Skimm A Best Beach Read of 2021 from Bustle A Best Summer Read of 2021 from PopSugar A family reunion for the ages when two clans convene for the summer at their beloved getaway in the Catskills—perfect for fans of Dirty Dancing and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel—from the acclaimed author of The Floating Feldmans. In its heyday, The Golden Hotel was the crown jewel of the hotter-than-hot Catskills vacation scene. For more than sixty years, the Goldman and Weingold families – best friends and business partners – have presided over this glamorous resort which served as a second home for well-heeled guests and celebrities. But the Catskills are not what they used to be – and neither is the relationship between the Goldmans and the Weingolds. As the facilities and management begin to fall apart, a tempting offer to sell forces the two families together again to make a heart-wrenching decision. Can they save their beloved Golden or is it too late? Long-buried secrets emerge, new dramas and financial scandal erupt, and everyone from the traditional grandparents to the millennial grandchildren wants a say in the hotel’s future. Business and pleasure clash in this fast-paced, hilarious, nostalgia-filled story, where the hotel owners rediscover the magic of a bygone era of nonstop fun even as they grapple with what may be their last resort.

A new-to-me author! I wanted another summer type read and summer was in the title. I really enjoyed it! If you like the setting of Dirty Dancing, you'll like this book too. Nostalgia is a running theme.
This story has lots of family drama and secrets. The one at the end was predictible and kinda glossed over. It didn't pack much of a punch.
I already wanted to visit the Catskills because of Dirty Dancing and now this book, too!
That was a fabulous and fun ride. Witty, charming, full of family drama, but most importantly...love. Love of togetherness. Love of making great memories with family and friends. Love for disconnecting and being present. Love for nostalgia and legacy.
I wish I could have had a place like this to escape to growing up. Nowadays I go camping or hiking and call it good
