Yassss Paris!! This book was so beyond that I now talk like Paris Hilton. PS highly recommend the audiobook.
This book is a great exercise in PR and I can't blame Paris for going for it. She's done some shoddy things, she's also had a great deal of bad things done to her (money doesn't fix everything and there's no quick fix for trauma so miss me with any “her struggle would be my luxury” it's not the trauma Olympics) and beyond it all she wants to be seen as a full and complex human being, I think most of us should be able to relate to that.
She talks a lot about the troubled teens industry and I think that what she has to say regarding her experience with that industry should not be lost because some aspects of her life are rich in accomplishments and privileges.
If you're looking for apologies for off color comments she's made you won't find much of that here, it really isn't what this book is about.
Wow this was a total shocker for me. I would almost say you could place this book in the thriller genre. This was such an eye opening story, and what an inspiring one. I would encourage anyone, especially young women to read this book. Even though she comes from privilege, she still has a great story of triumph.
I really enjoyed this for a lot of personal reasons. There were several mistakes that weren't edited out towards the end, which is unfortunate.
In truth, I approached “Paris: The Memoir” with a certain degree of skepticism and pessimism. I had preconceived notions about the life of a celebrity, and I was unsure of what to expect from such a memoir. However, as I delved into the pages, I found myself stunned by the raw vulnerability and truthfulness that emerged from the text. The author stripped away the layers of her public persona, revealing a deeply human and relatable side. Through her honest and often painful revelations, I found a level of understanding I hadn't expected. While I may not have ended the book with an overwhelming sense of affection for her, I gained a profound respect and understanding of her journey. “Paris: The Memoir” is a testament to the power of vulnerability and the importance of sharing our stories, no matter how different they may seem on the surface.
I'm glad Paris wrote her memoir to tell her story as she sees it. I didn't expect to love reading her memoir as much as I did but I'm glad she's in a better place now after the trauma she's been through.
