That’s hot 🔥 

Paris: the Memoir is an absolute incredible look into Paris Hilton’s life. I won’t lie, I didn’t know too much about Paris before I read this book, I loved watching The Simple Life, I’ve obviously seen her in the media and I love seeing her mum on RHOBH, but that’s basically it. But this book shows a side of Paris I didn’t know about. In it, she talks about her ADHD, her time being one of the most famous It Girls, her business ventures, being a target of the media, and shares some of her most harrowing experiences. 

I listened to the audio of this book (hence the photo of her book in Waterstones 😂), and as I always find when listening to memoirs, you could really feel the emotions in her words when she’s speaking them herself. I had to pause it at points to take in some of it in as it genuinely sounded so horrifyingly unbelievable that these things could happen to someone, have happened to so many, and when happened to children. It showed a raw side of Paris that I’m assuming so many don’t know about. Her time spent at the residential treatment programmes, Provo and CEDU all sounded like something fictional out of some dystopian book, it was so hard to hear but it needed to be told. (Check for TW if you need to)

There’s so much in this book to talk about, but honestly I just recommend you go and read it yourselves, Paris: the Memoir is up there with one of my highest rated celebrity memoirs. It made me take pause, made me cry, made me laugh and made me think. Paris Hilton is so much more than we are sometimes lead to believe and does so much for others out there. She stays true to herself no matter what and is a true icon. 💕
