Paris: The Memoir | Paris Hilton

A compelling read and although the chapters seemed a bit choppy and disorganised once Paris explains her journey with her ADHD mind, it became clear that she was writing this book as the thoughts/memories were coming to her and this seemed to be the most organic and rawest way for her to tell her truth. After reading this excellent memoir, I now feel like I know that there is so much more to Paris than anyone ever gave her credit for.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Loved how candid Paris was in this. A reminder that being born into privilege does not automatically mean that you will always have the best life.

kelli7990 I used to think when I saw the popular, rich kids at my high school that they all had perfect lives but I never hung out with them so I don‘t know their lives or what they were dealing with at home. Rich people can have problems just like the rest of us. 4mo

Was browsing for an audiobook to listen to and stumbled upon this one.

I‘ve only listened about 20% so far and I must say she‘s the perfect example of why we shouldn‘t judge a book based by its cover…

5feet.of.fury It‘s so good! I have been a fan of hers since the Simple Life, but she‘s much deeper than she gets credit for. 4mo
Amor4Libros @5feet.of.fury This has been really eye-opening! You see this people in the media “living their best life” and you just have no idea what they‘ve been through. I‘ve always been indifferent towards her, but I have some newfound respect for her now. 4mo

I was one of those people who spent the early 2000s rolling my eyes at Paris Hilton. I avoided all things Paris, as a matter of principle; though I did, in fact, watch House of Wax to "see Paris die", as the movie marketed it, (and then immediately stopped watching, because, what a terrible movie!) *More in comments*

Kris10H When I watched the documentary, "This is Paris", a couple of years ago, I started to see her from a very different perspective; not just spoiled little rich girl princess, but an actual human being. Paris, The Memoir, continues in that vein. In many ways, she does have a very blessed, privileged existence, but that hasn't made her exempt from hardship, and I definitely respect her for what she has made for and of herself. 8mo
Kris10H "I know we're supposed to spin terrible things to make it sound like they were actually good, but that's bullshit. That heart attack did not save your life. Cancer is not a gift. Your abuser did not give you strength. Terrible things are terrible. Let's just acknowledge it. If you found strength, wisdom, or a new way of thinking, that's awesome, but notice that the strength, wisdom, and new world view came out of you". 8mo
5feet.of.fury I love herrrr 💕 8mo

The last book I read in 2023! I wouldn‘t say this book was necessarily well written, but it was still really interesting. You wouldn‘t think that rich people have hard lives, but Paris Hilton truly had such a hard life. I really feel for her (which is crazy bc usually I never pity rich people). I find it so sad to hear her talk about her mother, who is so clearly an awful human. She still excuses what she did to Paris!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I wasn‘t a Paris Fan, more fascinated by her, like Brit, by the culture I had grown up in. But this memoir is eye opening. I did not expect to be saddened, distressed, horrified. I didn‘t realize I would be putting the pages down with a sick feeling in my stomach. Or that my heart would open up to a “privileged” celebrity. Or that I would feel, in MANY ways, that someone like me, a “normie” led a much more privileged and kind life!

🎧📖 Well that was unexpected. She has survived some horrific things. I respect what she's been through and how she's thrived, even if I'm not a fan of her public image and never have been.

TheBookgeekFrau Ok, so I have to stack this bc just about every Litsy review I've seen for this book is exactly like this. Yours happened to be the tipping point for #bookFOMO 😆 12mo

This is such a #BlameLitsy, both buying and reading, for me.

I didn‘t know much about Paris Hilton. I saw the paparazzi photographs in the early 2000s, heard about the tape and saw some trailers to her reality show The Simple Life

After reading this I know that Paris Hilton‘s life has been completely different than what I thought. She‘s though, especially mentally. I‘m amazed that she can be so graceful after everything.
