Ashley，
I read this books in less than 24 hours。 I have more respect than ever for Crystal Hefner after reading about her life and struggles。 Fascinating insight on what she went through and behind the gates of the Playboy Mansion。
Deandra，
Didn't think this book was going to give me more reasons to dislike Dr。 Phil but here we are。What a weird， fucked up life， and I hope Crystal is healing now and that this book helped her in that journey。 Didn't think this book was going to give me more reasons to dislike Dr。 Phil but here we are。What a weird， fucked up life， and I hope Crystal is healing now and that this book helped her in that journey。 。。。more
Simone Cameron，
3。5 stars。It's very difficult to review and rate somebody's personal story and experience。。。。let me just say that。 I think intrigued， disgusted， fascinated， whatever your opinion on Hugh Hefner， one has some sort of feelings about him and his Playboy empire。 I watched The Girls Next Door， like a moth to a flame。。。。and I think that show was really to make it seem like the lifestyle was cute and fun all the time。。。。and perhaps an attempt to humanise Hugh a little bit。 Crystal's book I inhaled in o 3。5 stars。It's very difficult to review and rate somebody's personal story and experience。。。。let me just say that。 I think intrigued， disgusted， fascinated， whatever your opinion on Hugh Hefner， one has some sort of feelings about him and his Playboy empire。 I watched The Girls Next Door， like a moth to a flame。。。。and I think that show was really to make it seem like the lifestyle was cute and fun all the time。。。。and perhaps an attempt to humanise Hugh a little bit。 Crystal's book I inhaled in one night and I was intrigued about getting a real glimpse behind the curtain。 The book is very interesting and honest， a few explicit moments （the scene with the shampoo bottle when she was 14 made me really sad and uncomfortable）。 I think what I found polarising in the book is that Crystal does give us a very real idea of who Hugh actually was。。。。but I think despite all her healing， she was still desperately trying to preserve some image of him。。。she could have been more raw， more real。。。。but I think she says it in the book， not using this term， but her relationship with Hugh is reminiscent of somebody with Stockholm Syndrome。 I hoped she go into why she was so defensive and dismissive of other people's claims and experiences， or perhaps mention if she had any regrets around that。。。。 Also her sisters， where were they。。。。did anybody try to encourage her to leave the lifestyle？ I wanted a lot more， but that is me。。。。 because maybe I'm nosey and always interested in family dynamics。 W。r。t the writing， I felt there was a lot of repetition and maybe we'd go off track a few times and I felt like I missed a part of the story。。it felt disjointed at times。 All in all， an intriguing read though。。。。and not to be all judge Judy， but wow that man。。。。。let me rather not。。。。 。。。more
