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 would recommend this book to anyone who loves Paris Hilton and to anyone who has never given a flying hoot about Paris Hilton. Admittedly, I fall into the latter category. 

She has lived her entire life in the spotlight and has been judged globally. Yet at the same time, so much happened out of the public eye. I had no idea about the trauma she endured, the persona she created, anything about her friendships and romantic life, or her brand. 

This book was a wonderful window into her life told by her.

Paris's story is truly harrowing. I loved listening to her tell her story and she has a very unique writing style. 

I do wish she acknowledged the privilege she has more, as she used her existing privilege to springboard a lot of her life. She absolutely had terrible things happen but her story is different than other survivors because of her family's privilege. 

Highly recommend as this was a super engaging read and gives a lot of insight to the congregate care system.
