3.25

While I was previously a fan of the Girls Next Door, I stopped watching after the original cast left so I wasn’t overly familiar with Crystal and her story. I think Crystal did a good job telling her story, but I just felt like something was missing the whole time. I listened to this as an audiobook, and the reading felt flat. Overall this was a good book, but not one I’d jump to read again or would recommend someone read immediately.
