In the vein of Running with Scissors, Playground is the glitzy, glamorous, and surreal true story of a young girl who grew up inside the Playboy Mansion and never learned where the party stopped and the real world began.
You are six years old. Every day after school your father takes you to a sprawling castle filled with exotic animals, bowls of candy, and half-naked women catering to your every need.
You have your own room. You have new friends. You have an uncle Hef who's always there for you.
Welcome to the world of Playground, the true story Jennifer Saginor who grew up inside the Playboy Mansion. By the time she was fourteen, she'd done countless drugs, had a secret affair with Hef's girlfriend, and was already losing her grip on reality. Schoolwork, family, and "ordinary people" had no meaning behind the iron gates of the Mansion, where celebrities frolicked, pool parties abounded, and her own father—Hugh Hefner's personal physician and best friend, the man nicknamed "Dr. Feel Good"—typically held court.
Every day was a party, every night was an adventure, and through it all was a young girl falling faster and faster down the rabbit hole—trying desperately hard not to get lost.
"Totally surreal. This is one of those books you simply can’t put down."—Ben Affleck
“Utterly compelling….It’s one helluva book!”—Larry King

This book was A+ and anyone who says otherwise either has an axe to grind with Hef or they suffer from lack of taste!

Sex, drugs, and paranoia, we follow Jennifer’s retelling of being in the Playboy Mansion from a small child to a grown adult and how her relationships with both the bunnies, Hef, and her addict father shaped her.
The sexual and drug abuse mentioned in the story make it uncomfortable as Jennifer mentions it easily as though she is recalling the perfume someone was wearing or the clothing choices someone made.
Overall it’s good, abeit not as in depth as one would expect from a memoir coming out today. It was a very engaging listen and I could easily see it becoming rhetorical basis of someone pitch script to A24.
Not what you’d typically expect from a memoir.
