I'll start by saying that I don't really know a lot about Playboy or the Hefners or anything like that. I know what it is but its not really something that was around me growing up and I didn't confuse any TV with it involved. Thank being said-

I know its ghost written by Lara Love Hardin but the author (authors?) perfectly painted this picture of being trapped social, physically, and financially. I know its hard to gauge authentic in a book written by a ghost writer. But the voice in this book really feels genuine. The motifs and theme around cages and birds, while clique, was something I really connected to. The complicated emotions are fully on display. Its emotional without being just grief porn. It feels like a good balance.

After reading this I read through the comments and there seems to be some discourse about if what Crystal is saying is true or if she is just ripping on other girls. I don't know. For what it was it was a good read but not something I would go around recommending based on its subject topic.
