Paris: The Memoir by Paris Hilton

4.0

I knew hardly anything about Paris except that this was "famous for being famous," and I had never watched The Simple Life. To me she just seemed like a beautiful rich bimbo. But a friend recommended this book, and I was blown away. Paris is like if Elle Woods from Legally Blonde was a real person – appears to be a gorgeous air-head, but is actually rather smart with a matured emotional intelligence.

I had briefly heard that Paris had been to a troubled-youth program that was abusive, but her revealing memoir took it to a whole new level. It is astounding that places like this exist.

And yes, there are times it seems Paris is detached from the reality of regular people, but she also owns it and does a good job of showing that understanding and gratitude for her position of possibilities.
