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.

This book is hard to read. Not because it’s written by Paris Hilton (and her ghostwriter) and not for the reasons that people would assume - that it would be vapid and boring and self serving - because this book is none of those things. This book is a hard read because Paris doesn’t spare the details of the horrors she’s endured, especially as a young adult in the “troubled youth” programs. 

This book was absolutely captivating, emotionally raw, stunningly well written, and had me near tears at points. 

You can decide for yourself if you think her book is genuine or a cleverly crafted PR piece, but one thing is for sure, this is a book that all young girls/femmes - teens and early twenties - should have access to. This book can open up a world for them to know that they are not alone, many of their experiences from small to big and light to dark are normal and that they are not the ones to blame. This is a book many teen and young adult girls/femmes (and even many others in the queer community) can relate to, learn from, and see themselves in.

I definitely think I wouldn’t have enjoyed the book as much if I eyeball read this book.  Paris added so much emotion to the audiobook so that, even during the dark parts, I could keep going.

I remember growing up at the same time as Paris.  She’s only a few years older than me and I definitely othered her.  I am so sorry because this woman has gone through so much, money or not.

This book is such a beautiful look at ptsd, finding joy, and living with ADHD.

I didn't realize how little I knew about Paris Hilton until I listened to this. I sincerely enjoyed Paris' narration and appreciated having the opportunity to hear her side of the story. Paris has overcome a lot in her life! An enjoyable, relatively quick listen.

Fame is a trauma (on top of so many other traumas), and Paris Hilton is an icon 💟
