Paris: The Memoir by Paris Hilton
4.0
I went into this not knowing a whole lot about Paris aside from her relation to the Hilton hotels, and that she was perceived as a party girl in the early 2000s. I also love House of Wax, but that's about as far as my knowledge of Paris Hilton goes. This memoir gave me a lot more insight into her life, her struggles, and her smarts as a business woman.
She went through hell as a teenager, struggling with undiagnosed ADHD and parents throwing her into an abusive school that was supposed to make her better. I'm not putting blame on the parents, and as Paris says multiple times throughout this book, she also thought they were doing what they thought was best for her at the time.
Paris also doesn't downplay how much privilege she has, and how many opportunities those privileges have afforded her in her life, but this memoir is more about a look into the unfortunate circumstances she endured at the hands of abusers that no one should ever have to go through, and how she has powered through those and continued to have a successful life that she loves.
