Paris: The Memoir by Paris Hilton

I do typically rate memoirs but I think I'm going to leave this one unrated. on one hand, she's been through so much and is trying to do a lot of good. on the other hand she's done so much bad and while she did apologize in the book, it just doesn't seem like enough. and even now, she's bragging about her NFTs and her venture capitalist husband and being besties with the founder of Dolls Kill. but these things I don't like are about her as a person and it doesn't seem fair to rate the book in that way

something I really did like about this is how clear her voice was. while I am like 100% sure there is a ghost writer involved in this based on how eloquent a lot of this was, and certain words and descriptors used. not saying she can't be smart. I am saying she did not receive a high school education. if you want more on that read Part 2 after reading trigger warnings including child abuse, sexual abuse, and more.

anyway back to her voice. it was so clear that even though I didn't listen to the audiobook (I imagine she narrates?), it really felt like she was telling me her story herself. there are so many little jokes that give this memoir a very personal feel to it.

another little thing I liked was every time she established the year we were in, she would tell us the movies, songs, and tech that was out at the time to really transport you back if you were sentient then.
