es īsti nezinu, ko es domāju par šo grāmatu. es biju dzirdējusi ļoti daudz labu atsauksmju par šo grāmatu, tāpēc no vienas puses es gaidīju kaut ko ļoti wow. bet tā nebija. stāsts diezgan bieži bija ļoti haotisks; parisa iesāk stāstīt par kaut ko vienu, tad iepin pavisam citu notikumu, tad atkal turpina iepriekšējo, un temati mainījās tik ātri kā amerikāņu kalniņos. tulkojums uz latviešu valodu bija ļoti slikts, un es pieļāvu kļūdu, lasot to latviski, jo stāsts netika atspoguļots pietiekami precīzi. ko es noteikti vēlējos, bija kādus foto, kas ļautu tvert stāstu pilnīgāk. 
parisa vairākkārt uzsvēra, ka viņa ir self-made, bet tā īsti nav - tāpat viņa ir nepotisma rezultāts, un viņas uzvārds un slava, pat pirms viņa kaut ko bija sasniegusi, jau gāja viņai pa priekšu. tika atspoguļoti daži notikumi, kuri bija stāstā, manuprāt, nevajadzīgi. jāsaka, lai arī cik briesmīgi tas nebūtu, pati interesantākā daļa grāmatā bija par laiku tajā šausmīgajā "skolā". 
parisa hiltone ir un paliek ikona, un viņa kaut kādā ziņā mani iedvesmo, bet šī grāmata nav tas pats labākais memuārs, ko esmu lasījusi, diemžēl. :(

Contrary to what I thought of her in the 2000's, Paris is not a dumb blonde, nor is she lazy. She has risen above a considerable amount of trauma, and spends much of her time advocating for others, so they don't endure the same fate. She acknowledges her privilege, but she is savvy and hardworking. Her story was candid and engaging, and I have a new found respect for her.
