Si le surréalisme du manoir Playboy et les paillettes d'Hollywood constituent un point de départ captivant, le cœur de l'histoire explore les dynamiques complexes, confuses et douloureuses des relations familiales du point de vue d'un enfant. La narration saisit magistralement la fragilité et la vulnérabilité de l'enfance dans un cadre inhabituellement glamour. Son œuvre offre un regard profond sur la manière dont les expériences précoces et les liens familiaux nous façonnent. Elle explore les paysages émotionnels complexes de la connexion familiale.

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 of a young girl 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.
