Paris: The Memoir by Paris Hilton

4.0

challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

This is a tough read and I did cry.

You feel like you're there with Paris for the full 7+ hours and by the end I was sad to be leaving her.

The 00s nostalgia aspect was fun but it was also a souring look back at how girls were treated back then with scorn-

especially through the lens of Paris's ADHD and (possible) asexuality.

This book should make us all angry and devastated at her treatment by mainstream culture

particularly after the absolute wild west of child abuse she endured at the boarding programs in her teens.

I feel that this also demonstrates how prison perpetuates trauma and that privilege will not protect a person- but that's another conversation on the prison industrial complex
