Imagine picking an audiobook for company on your walk and stumbling into a  poignant, heart wrenching and well-written memoir by the same person who invented the word "sliving." This book surprised me in the best way - Paris has lived a wild and privileged life, but also experienced real pain in a terrifying industry and has mature, researched, and grounded reflections. She is certainly not the character she presents to the world and we'd all do well to give her a little more grace.
