Although Paris and I are roughly the same age, I can't say I've ever followed Paris closely. I knew that she was on television and remember her being in the weekly magazines as a socialite. I had neutral feelings about her. A friend gifted me Paris Hilton's memoir so I took it on.
Learning about Paris' teen years was heart-wrenching. There were parts that I wish she had shared more. She mentions in the book that she's said hurtful things and I wish she had expanded on that gave a more full-throated apology instead of the general apology and then quickly moved on.
In all, I found it a fast read and generally enjoyable but a little chaotic. (I realize she has ADHD and the book is written/edited the way it is for a reason.)

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.
