Description:
|
Halloween parties at the Playboy Mansion were renowned for their rich and famous guests, as well as the coterie of smiling young women surrounding Hugh Hefner. Enter stage left Crystal Harris in 2008, having applied to attend and going on to become a 'girlfriend' and then a wife, sixty years younger than her famous husband.
This is the story of Crystal's life, her experiences with the Playboy empire, and finally, with the death of her husband Hef, the chance to examine and reveal the consequences of choosing this seemingly glamorous life, with the benefit of hindsight and the revelations of the #MeToo movement. [Not for the faint hearted.]

A surprising choice! But the book did spark an interesting discussion. |

Two members loved this book, the rest did not enjoy it. Overall we were surprised that society was so accepting of his hedonistic lifestyle and blatant use of women. We had no sympathy for any of them as it was their dream and ambition to be part of the Playboy Mansion. Misogyny is still rampant and women's equality still has a way to go. Made for a boisterous discussion in the best of ways. |

While every member finished the book, we were all pretty disappointed. It had the potential to be an interesting read but the storytelling method was quite disjointed and felt rushed, like large parts of the timeline were missing or underplayed. While we understand it is written from Crystal's point of view, it felt like she was contradicting herself frequently and as such no one had particularly positive feedback. |
