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

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.

Maybe my expectations were set low, maybe the book really is just THAT good. Either way, this was well written and surprisingly easy to follow even with the jumps between moments on Paris’s life timeline.

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.
