About this listen
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

Super Interesting
It was a wild ride, I couldn’t stop listening! Would love to read what happens in the next half of Jennifer’s life, if we both make it that far.

Wow! Just wow! Hard to put down…
I loved this book, so well read and what an amazing write Jennifer has done here. What a life! I felt for her throughout the book, such a sad childhood. So good to know she came out so well grounded and held together.

Wow what a crazy life
Very crazy and interesting story. I can’t believe the life she’s lived I’d be very interested to know what she’s doing now. I’m kinda lost for words.
