dark emotional sad medium-paced

5.0

I’m usually not the non-fiction type so I’m not sure how to write a review for it but this was written so well.

I loved how she told her story and sometimes trailed off onto something else before bringing the topic back, it felt authentic and while topics in the book were far from pleasant to read the way she wrote it made my ADHD brain keep up much easier.

She has been through so much, and whether you choose to believe her story or not she deserved better.  Everyone failed her so many times and it was not something anyone should have been put through. 

This memoir was horrifying, depressing, heartbreaking, and at some point hilarious, like how she mentions how to make a Waldorf salad—which felt so relatable, how I try and tell someone how to make something all the while having never measured anything and just having gone with the flow of the “recipe”.  This book was real and genuine, it had its ups and downs; and I’m honestly so amazed by how strong she is having overcome so much trauma.

I went into this knowing next to nothing about Paris Hilton and I was more invested than I thought

Paris’ experience at ‘reform school’ is on par with POW and Guantanamo Bay inmates. She’s lucky to be alive. Party on Paris, stay sliving 4🪩
