Zibby was recently joined by three-time guest Elyssa Friedland on IG Live to talk about her latest novel, Last Summer at the Golden Hotel, set during a pre-COVID summer at the last remaining resort in the Catskills. Elyssa tells Zibby about how she drew just as much inspiration from her own experiences in the Catskills as she did from Dirty Dancing, why she enjoys creating female characters that surprise readers, and offers a sneak preview about her upcoming novel, Most Likely.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: https://amzn.to/2TXl4gbBookshop: https://bit.ly/2SAbDDa** Check out the Z.I.P. membership program—Zibby’s Important People!
