It was a well written memoir. As always, I wanted a bit more of the healing process to be covered. I felt like I understood fairly well life in the Playboy Mansion and Crystal read well in the book.

I was very excited to read this because I have recently been enthralled with "The Girls Next Door", and I wanted to learn more about another person's perspective of Playboy and Life at the mansion.
"Only Say Good Things" is a memoir from Crystal Hefner, Famous Playboy founder Hugh Hefner's final wife. This novel sheds some light on Crystal's life before the mansion, and how she found herself living what everyone believed was the dream life. It also chronicles Hugh Hefner's final days.
Overall, I thought this book was organized well, was well written, and was informative as well as entertaining. I think Crystal did a great job at trying to explain herself and share the mental state she was in during her time at the mansion. Hearing her perspective on what was happening at the mansion during her time there gave me more sympathy for the atrocities she went through.
I continue to be fascinated by the world of Playboy, and I look forward to indulging in more media like this in the future.
