This book talks about her life, the good and the bad, and huge chunk of the book is about her time in Cedu. I’m not going to call it a school. It’s not fair to call it a school. It’s a place where parents sent the kids they were having trouble managing and thus was supposed to save them and get them back in line.
But I’m going to assume that most of the parents would never have considered sending their kids if they knew the atrocities that took place. The kids were abused (on every level you can think of). The kids were cut off from their families. And when they were finally released, either when they turned 18 or their parents ran out of money, they were so brainwashed that they couldn’t talk about it.
Paris spent two years of her life there. Two years trying to escape.
When she finally got out, she wasn’t even sure what being a regular teenager felt like anymore. And she had a lot of trouble forgiving her family.
Her time in Cedu majorly impacted her life going forward but she tells you throughout the book how she just wants to find her own happiness and success in life. She wants to know who she is and she won’t let that awful chapter of her life ruin her future.
And what happened at Cedu wasn’t even the first awful thing that happened to her.
In addition to all of this, she couldn’t even openly talk about any of it because it might hurt the Hilton brand. Oof. I think, partially because of this, Paris decided to rebrand herself as she wanted to.
I think Paris must be an incredibly strong person, she has a capacity for forgiveness that would be hard to imagine given what she went through, and I’ve always thought she was smarter then she wanted to let on. She has fun with her image.
This book was really heavy and really hard to read at times but I’d definitely recommend it. I think society has a tendency to be overly critical of public figures without knowing much about their real lives.
