AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
An intimate memoir from Vanderpump Rules star Scheana Shay, delving into everything from the origin story of the iconic show, to her struggles with fertility and pregnancy loss, and the behind-the-scenes moments that were left on the cutting room floor.
Before eleven seasons of record-breaking TV, Scheana thought that signing on to the Real Housewives' spin-off show, Vanderpump Rules, was a stepping stone to reaching her ultimate goal of becoming a successful actress in Hollywood. But from the very first season, Vanderpump Rules pit Scheana against her fellow cast members. Barbs were thrown, friendships dissolved, and Scheana was left in the rubble trying to parse fact from fiction.
On camera, she got used to being called every name in the book, from homewrecker to a pick-me and bad friend. But off camera, there's always been a different side of Scheana, pieces of her she couldn't share on screen or that were trimmed out of tidy forty-minute television episodes.
In My Good Side, Scheana pulls back the layers of who she really is and shares all sides of her—the good, bad, and messy—bringing readers on a wild nostalgia trip through the early days of Vanderpump Rules, while recounting jaw-dropping stories from her Hollywood black book, including setting the record straight on her relationship with Eddie Cibrian. She reveals how her outlook on love has evolved and led her to a daughter she was told she may never have.
From being bullied as a kid to being bullied by the Witches of WeHo, Scheana has seen it all, and together she and her fans can laugh, cry, and reminisce on all the drama, heartbreak, and celebrations over the years.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Scheana Shay became a figure of total fascination during her decade-plus run on Vanderpump Rules, and her deeply revealing memoir is no different. Magnetic, fun, and gifted with great storytelling skills, Shay gives a candid look at what filming the drama-filled reality show was really like, even offering her own very unfiltered POV on the entire Scandoval infidelity saga. But we were even more captivated by her incredibly intimate personal stories, especially when she opens up about her experiences with OCD and talks about being a people-pleasing overachiever in high school. Shay also digs into the painful details of her fertility struggles and drops a jaw-dropping bomb about her own marriage. Whether you’re interested in celebrity gossip or you’re curious about the intimate side most stars never reveal on camera, you won’t want to pass up My Good Side.
