Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
'I was 21 years old when I found myself on the front stoop of the Playboy Mansion, its ornate front door feeling like a route to success. I want to tell the real story of my time there - the good and the bad, the dark and the light. The story I wish I'd heard as a young woman trying to find my way in the world. Before I showed up at a party, allowed myself to stay, and made the decisions that would shape my life.'
In 2008 the Playboy mansion became Crystal Harris's sanctuary - a shimmering vestige of power and opportunity. Within months she had ascended its hierarchical system to become Hugh Hefner's top girlfriend. But her new home came at a cost. Forced to follow strict rules which governed everything from her appearance to behaviour, she began to lose her identity. By the time she married Hef in 2012, the mansion had become her prison.
Before he passed away in 2017, Hef made Crystal promise to only say good things about the decade she spent in his world. After years of silence, in this gripping and honest memoir Crystal finally exposes the toxic culture at Playboy's core and the devastating effect it had on her health. In a world where so many still strive to achieve impossible beauty standards formed by the male gaze at the expense of their happiness, her extraordinary story of misogyny and objectification and ultimate journey to self-discovery reveals eye-opening lessons that are relevant to us all.

Beautiful story
This has given me so much strength to know my worth, learning how to say no and saying how I really feel.. I can relate to so many of her stories. She is strong and ambitious. I laughed and cried, mostly cried.. There was one chapter I couldn’t stop smiling. I’m so happy for you. You’re amazing Crystal. Thank you.
I am so motivated to be the best version of myself. Thanks again for sharing.

Surprisingly good!
Exceeded my expectations and narrated well. Crystal was wiser beyond her years and this is very insightful as to what things were like inside the mansion. Highly recommend.

Genuine but tragic story
There is no real salacious reveals, some interesting insights into Hefner and the mansion life. Still a great listen and highly recommended. Crystal was perfect to read it and made it all the more poignant.

Reserved yet truthful.
Well-considered words that were able to describe, intise and dictate a horrible life story while still upholding the honour of the perpetrators.

Genuine and heartfelt
Genuine and heartfelt - this is what I love about her recollection of what happened to her. And her way of trying to still to balance and respect the memories and is accountable for what was choice and giving the pros and cons. I hope she has an amazing life to come, finds love, and thankyou for sharing and helping remind people to refind themselves.

amazing authentic book
Really enjoyed this, couldn't stop listening. Honest, raw and incredibly brave story. As a girl who was in my early 20's at the time the girls next door first came out, I thought these girls lived such an incredible life, I've read all the other books, but this one offered a completely different insight. Highly recommend.

Insightful and well narrated
I love that Crystal narrated her own story. It must have been difficult to write ! Very well written and you could feel her emotion in the narration . I’d highly recommend
