My Good Side: A Memoir
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, two Emmy nominations, and a chart-topping podcast, Scheananigans, 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. After appearing on shows like 90210, Jonas, and Victorious, Vanderpump Rules would be a piece of cake. 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.

From the Publisher

"Effervescent throughout, Shay doesn’t skimp on the insider details and is a naturally engaging storyteller, sharing the mostly amusing anecdotes of her on- and off-camera life with candor, youthful charm, wit, and gratitude for her fame and the many joys (and pains) it’s brought to her life thus far."—Kirkus

A veteran reality television star tells all.

After 11 seasons on the Bravo network’s reality seriesVanderpump Rules, Shay comes clean on her life and career in the Hollywood spotlight. Shay grew up in Southern California, “unintentionally” born to an American mother who was just 19 when she gave birth and a Mexican American father who was disinterested in being a father. A self-confessed people-pleaser, she gushes about being a studious overachiever in school, juggling theater roles and sporting events, and focusing on elevating her appearance (“I was giving Kylie Jenner before she was a glimmer in Kris’s eye”), all despite harrowing instances of bullying and feeling the need to cloak her Mexican heritage. In college, Shay participated in a class-action lawsuit against Hooters, accusing a general manager of filming her (and several other women) in a changing area. A broadcast journalism degree couldn’t prepare her for a new life in Hollywood, partaking in hookups with married actor Eddie Cibrian and a host of others, and the ensuing tabloid-fodder melodrama that would follow her into her breakout role on reality television—where, she divulges, filmed material was “edited and packaged for the masses.” Her eventual role, at 26, as a cast member on the restaurant business seriesVanderpump Rules put Shay on the star trajectory she had longed for. But the friendship betrayals, relationship troubles, fertility challenges, miscarriages, and OCD episodes, all delivered with breathless urgency, took their toll. Now, at 40, she acknowledges feeling the need to branch out in her acting career and focus on her OCD advocacy and motherhood. Effervescent throughout, Shay doesn’t skimp on the insider details and is a naturally engaging storyteller, sharing the mostly amusing anecdotes of her on- and off-camera life with candor, youthful charm, wit, and gratitude for her fame and the many joys (and pains) it’s brought to her life thus far.

Shay’s fan base and Bravo junkies will garner the most from this harmlessly frothy confessional.
