I enjoy a memoir every so often. This is not exactly a memoir. It's the story of a girl working her way up through.a mostly man-dominated field: hospitality. Cooperstein talks about her experiences at two different hotels in Philadelphia, detailing the challenges and successes that lead not only to her expertise in the field but her development as an individual. She chronicles the characters of the story in such a way that the reader is given snapshots of hotel life, one in a fully established and famous building and one from the ground up. I found myself wanting to know more about her as a person (she does give us glimpses into her personal life as well) and was disappointed that the book was as short as it was. I am hoping for another volume. Cooperstein's conversational tone draws the reader in and makes you feel like you are there with this colorful cast. Even better to know that it's all real!
