I really enjoyed this. I've never been a Little Hilton per se but I do have this distant intrigue to this socialite, especially since she came out about her horrific experience in those wilderness camps as a child.
I hadn't realised how much trauma she had been through and found her life that was disclosed in her memoir in her own words to be powerful, engaging and full of growth.
The way she loves her animals and the people in her life was so beautiful to read about, but I'm glad she opened up about the difficulties she had in relationships as it brought her into the perspective of being relatable and empathic. So when she's talking about growth and freedom to live her life, despite her own acknowledgement of her privallages, it's stated with a strong sense of relief and happiness.
I thought this was a fantastic insight into Paris' life. I really enjoyed reading this and finished it (mainly via audiobook, where she narrates it herself) over a day and a bit.

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. :(

This book was absolutely captivating, emotionally raw, stunningly well written, and had me near tears at points.
You can decide for yourself if you think her book is genuine or a cleverly crafted PR piece, but one thing is for sure, this is a book that all young girls/femmes - teens and early twenties - should have access to. This book can open up a world for them to know that they are not alone, many of their experiences from small to big and light to dark are normal and that they are not the ones to blame. This is a book many teen and young adult girls/femmes (and even many others in the queer community) can relate to, learn from, and see themselves in.

I remember growing up at the same time as Paris. She’s only a few years older than me and I definitely othered her. I am so sorry because this woman has gone through so much, money or not.
This book is such a beautiful look at ptsd, finding joy, and living with ADHD.

That said, her well-documented racist/homophobic statements of the past, which are largely unaddressed aside from the one-liner, "I said some awful things in the past," show she just isn't there yet. I wish she dug in deeper about her decision to defend Trump's vile statements during the 2016 election and throwing other women under the bus. It really undermines her messaging throughout.
Additionally, there were multiple instances when she commented, "Oh, I really loved this comedian/artist until they targeted me. You shouldn't hurt people like that," as if she hadn't been laughing along before.
I think, ultimately, she has shown an immaculate amount of growth and she still has a long way to go to catch up.
Given what I learned during reading it (her remarks), I don't regret spending my sick days reading it. I think it's an excellent story and a good reminder that we can hold multiple truths at the same time. I'm glad someone with her size of following wrote about this absolutely horrific topic, barring their soul. And, ultimately, I want to trust that she will someday dismantle the clear racism that she absorbed from her world (just as I hope all wh1te people will).
