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.

10/10. No notes. A must read for anyone who is or loves a person with ADHD.

The name dropping was excessive. The story of how she was abandoned by her family when she was a teen was horrific. She seems like a truly good person with a bad rep.

This is a deeply personal memoir with lots of complicated feelings. I found the pace slightly messy as it initially led me to believe Diamond Baby disappeared twice. There were another couple moments where the order of events got a little lost. Other than that this was a really welcoming entry into the memoir/autobiography genre so those who aren't into nonfiction may have an easier time reading this. Paris' stage persona shines and lends believability to what may be the actual Paris speaking. 
There are very complicated chapters, specifically talking about the rehab camps and the abuses suffered there as well as the chapter about difficulties with conceiving and having children through surrogacy.
