Raw, beautiful and essential reading for all millennials. What a life. Absolutely broke my heart in places and also reflect on growing up at this time as a girl with undiagnosed ADHD and how the world saw women. Paris has a genuinely inspiring attitude to her mistakes, being mistreated and sexualised by the media, her SA and the extreme trauma for her time in teen correctional institutions. Her audio performance and her messages made me feel she was talking to me. She clearly is grateful for her fans and privileges and is in a time of her life to make others feel seen, heard and loved. This book it's hot.

I truly had no real idea about who and what Paris Hilton went through in her life. Such a shocking and eye-opening read

This has been on my tbr for a while and I’m so glad I listened to Paris read her memoir to me herself, it was much more impactful that way. I love her voice, her real one that is. This book takes you through her childhood, her years of bouncing around homes and schools, forced institutionalization at troubled teen camps and jail time when she got a DUI, up until she met her current husband. So many people failed her in life and it’s truly only herself and her work ethic that saved her. I hope she’s happy, she deserves peace after all she’s been through. I know she’s forgiven a lot of the people who wronged her, but I haven’t. Ricky when I catch you Ricky👊🏼👊🏼 please look up specific trigger warnings, as there are a LOT of them. This was a hard listen, but ultimately it’s HEA, and that’s what kept me going, knowing that she got out. I think this is one of the only celeb memoirs I would reread. You’ll enjoy if you’re a fan of 2000s pop culture or if you have an ADHD brain, since the way she tells the story is pretty fast-paced and jumps around topics.

There’s two things I love about memoirs: 1) Learning about someone’s life and 2) Learning about someone’s authentic self. 

 

The hard thing about the second part is balancing the appreciation for someone showing you who they truly are and not actually liking that person. 

 

I think the hold up for me is that Paris has been through a lot, but doesn’t always apply the empathy you would think she has. The specific item I’m thinking about is when she’s happy that a blackmailer ended up killing himself because, karma. I can understand the pain and hate towards someone who is blackmailing you, but I struggled to understand how someone who had been through so much couldn’t pull even the smallest amount of empathy towards someone who decided to take their own life. Is the problem that the book didn’t adequately explain the pain the blackmailer caused Paris? Or is the problem a straight lack of empathy? 

 

Lack of empathy aside, the details Paris shares about her experience in the “troubled teen” schools is a lot to process and I’m so thankful she shared her experience. It’s something that I don’t know if I would have learned about outside of this memoir, and it’ll never cease to be mind blowing to me how prevalent abuse is.
