Free Audiobook : Only Say Good Things, By Crystal Hefner

At the young age of twenty-one, Crystal Harris’ world was forever transformed when she attended a gathering at the infamous Playboy mansion. Chosen from the crowd by Hugh Hefner, she became one of his notorious “girlfriends,” attending glitzy Hollywood soirees and globetrotting. However, this seemingly glamorous lifestyle harbored a sinister side. Hef dictated his girlfriends with stringent rules about everything from their appearance to their curfews, and Crystal found herself vying with other women for her place in the highly stratified system. Residing at the mansion, she felt more akin to an ornament than an inhabitant.

She ascended rapidly, but being Hef’s primary girlfriend came at the expense of Crystal’s individuality outside her role in the Playboy realm. Her destiny appeared predetermined when Hef astonished her with a marriage proposal she couldn’t fathom rejecting. But as Crystal Hefner, she became increasingly eager to discover her true self beyond what she perceived as Playboy’s harmful culture.

In ONLY SAY GOOD THINGS, Crystal provides a vulnerable and discerning examination of how her interaction with Hugh Hefner instigated her transformative journey from a person who valued external approval above everything else to an individual who finally acknowledges her genuine worth. This forthright memoir offers a captivating peek behind the scenes at a potent cultural symbol and brand, and an equally inspiring view on hard-earned lessons about who we permit to define our value.
