Paris: The Memoir by Paris Hilton
3.0
dark emotional funny informative sad

It's sad and unjust that Paris experienced the horrible things that she did. It was also hilarious when she wrote, "I love supporting a woman-owned small business" about shopping at Dollskill, the antiblack, art-stealing fast-fashion company. Hilton has faced great hardship, but she has also always had immense privilege--which she acknowledges--but such privilege and wealth automatically produces a level of ignorance and exploitation. Hilton and those in her circles are always going to put a positive spin on each other's exploitative escapades because it allows them to continue flourishing. 

That all said, if you have ADHD or are a survivor of the troubled teen industry, or are a millennial who was big into pop culture in your youth, you'll probably find something to connect to in this book. It has a very conversational style that I'm guessing comes across even in the print version, stemming,as she identifies in the beginning of the book, from the ADHD-induced tendency to drift from topic to topic.
