The Last Summer at the Golden Hotel

  ~ I received no compensation and opinions are 100% my own or my family. ~

Synopsis (from Amazon):  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.

One (or more) Sentence Summary:  The Last Summer at the Golden Hotel is perfect summer read. You can't help but love the characters and get drawn into the multi-generation drama (and memories). It took me back to the 70/80's spending summers at my grandparent's cottage.  This is similar to Dirty Dancing but in the Catskills!
