This is a deeply personal memoir with lots of complicated feelings. I found the pace slightly messy as it initially led me to believe Diamond Baby disappeared twice. There were another couple moments where the order of events got a little lost. Other than that this was a really welcoming entry into the memoir/autobiography genre so those who aren't into nonfiction may have an easier time reading this. Paris' stage persona shines and lends believability to what may be the actual Paris speaking. 
There are very complicated chapters, specifically talking about the rehab camps and the abuses suffered there as well as the chapter about difficulties with conceiving and having children through surrogacy.

Honest and heart wrenching! Such respect for this privileged white girl my age, for all that she got at birth she struggled like I never did for a sane mind and a beautiful life, and she’s putting herself out there to be judged and loved, and to help others. Respect, a lot of it!!! Paris gained a new fan in me!

This has been on my tbr for a while and I’m so glad I listened to Paris read her memoir to me herself, it was much more impactful that way. I love her voice, her real one that is. This book takes you through her childhood, her years of bouncing around homes and schools, forced institutionalization at troubled teen camps and jail time when she got a DUI, up until she met her current husband. So many people failed her in life and it’s truly only herself and her work ethic that saved her. I hope she’s happy, she deserves peace after all she’s been through. I know she’s forgiven a lot of the people who wronged her, but I haven’t. Ricky when I catch you Ricky👊🏼👊🏼 please look up specific trigger warnings, as there are a LOT of them. This was a hard listen, but ultimately it’s HEA, and that’s what kept me going, knowing that she got out. I think this is one of the only celeb memoirs I would reread. You’ll enjoy if you’re a fan of 2000s pop culture or if you have an ADHD brain, since the way she tells the story is pretty fast-paced and jumps around topics.

My curiosity of Marilyn Monroe led me down a DEEP rabbit-hole... I've read about the lives of Marilyn Monroe, Pamela Anderson, Britney Spears and now Paris Hilton.

Learning about the lives of these so-called "blonde bimbos" and discovering some DARK truths about Hollywood, Media, and what I believe to be a sinister mission aimed to continue perpetuating the myths against women. Using women as sex symbols for monetary gain and simultaneously turning the public against these women and each other; Convincing women that being a victim is their fault and burden to carry, among other un-truths...

It can safely be said, a woman's narrative in the public eye is NEVER her own. 

Paris Hilton's memor imo, is explosive.

I was a teen at the time of Paris Hilton's pinnacle point in her partying career. I remember vividly seeing the media go frenzied for her "sex-tape" and her arrests... The Media had everyone convinced Paris Hilton was this one-sided spoiled heiress. The Media successfully poisoned the thoughts of men and women in all walks of life...

Comedians were comfortable trashing her.
Animation Studios were comfortable trashing her. 
Magazines were comfortable trashing her.
Women, from everyday life, stay-at-home mom's, trashed her. (And that's the true tragedy, women being convinced it's okay and normal to hate on other women.) 

We should be each other's advocates and voices; Instead jealousy and envy fueled by the Media, spreads hateful messages and false narratives about each other. 

Why?? .........
