Paris: The Memoir by Paris Hilton

dark funny informative inspiring reflective sad tense fast-paced

4.5

I enjoyed this a lot. I never really bought into the idea that Paris was a dumb blonde, and I'm happy to see that she shows her cleverness front and center in this memoir. I had listened to an interview with her on a podcast promoting this book, so I knew a little about what she wrote about, in terms of the torture camp she was sent to as a teen. But listening to her tell about it in detail was really something. As a 90s kid myself, I always heard about those military camps, but the reality of some of these places is just unbelievable. Kudos to Paris for using her platform to shed light on this and provide some real change in this area. As someone who is so protective of her brand, she took a risk doing that and it's paying off. I enjoyed her organization of the memoir and the way she describes different time periods in the context of the movies, songs, etc. of the year. Very cool concept. Also, she has a unique writing style and was super funny and very "Paris." Way to go, Paris... it's hot.
