I did not expect this book to shake me so much. I honestly never really liked Paris Hilton much as a teen/young adult, but this book shone a completely different light on the image she portrayed to the world. While I wasn’t a troubled teen, I was a teenage girl in the 90s and suffered from a lot of the same slut-shaming, secret-keeping, harassment, and opportunistic older men. I’m so glad to hear Paris is telling her story and using it to make changes in the world. I picked up this book off a hunch and I’m so glad I did.

I was not expecting to learn so much about ADHD and IVF.  

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.
