Crystal Hefner was twenty-one when she stepped into the Playboy mansion and into a world of glamour, control, and illusion. Handpicked by Hugh Hefner to be his “number one girlfriend,” she lived among chandeliers and camera flashes—but behind the scenes, her life was micromanaged, her identity erased, and her worth constantly questioned.
In Only Say Good Things, Crystal tells the truth behind the legend. With candor and clarity, she reveals the misogyny, manipulation, and quiet desperation that shaped her young adulthood—and the long road she took to reclaim her voice.
Part memoir, part reckoning, this is a bold look inside a world built on fantasy, and a powerful story of survival, self-discovery, and the courage to define yourself on your own terms.
