Reality television star Heather Gay will release her second memoir later this year, People magazine reports.
Gallery Books will publish Gay’s Good Time Girl in the winter. The press describes the memoir as “a hilarious, illustrative, and deeply reflective book about life and love as a former Mormon, mother, and reality TV star.”
Gay co-founded the Utah medical spa Beauty Lab + Laser in 2017 before becoming an original cast member of the Bravo reality show The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City in 2020. The series has aired four seasons, with another being filmed this year.
In 2023, Gay published her first book, the memoir Bad Mormon, which told the story of her decision to leave the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in which she was raised. A critic for Kirkus praised the memoir as “a thoughtful, smart, and funny handbook for apostates.”
Her new book, Gallery says, Gay “recounts the humorous trysts, mishaps, and serendipitous success she’s found as a life-long reveler in all things indulgent.…From illicit high school trips to Tijuana and awkward dates set up by her overzealous costars, Good Time Girl is a charming and intimate meditation on community, love, independence, womanhood, and—most importantly—second chances.”
Gay announced her new book on Instagram, writing, “This book goes where Bad Mormon was afraid to and offers the Receipts! Proof! Timeline! Screenshots!”
Good Time Girl is scheduled for publication on Dec. 3.
