Nice plot twist. Didn’t expect anything. I wanted to give it a 5 star, but for some reason I can’t. It’s not lacking in any area that I can communicate… it just feels empty towards the end.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 13%.

This is the second time I have DNFed this book. I am done trying. The book is just boring overall.

4.0

I never really like to rate memoirs or nonfiction of this sort because I feel like I’m not supposed to find entertainment in someone sharing their story. But the reason I gave this book 4 stars is because, towards the middle I completely zoned out. I was here and wasn’t all at the same time. That was the only flaw of the book. Some things could have been left out, I feel, but again it’s not my place to judge someone’s life.

This book shows a lot of emotion and conveys the “traumatic girlhood” identity well. I feel I would have enjoyed it more if I could relate to the relationship that was expressed in this book. Overall great read and would recommend to anyone who is going through a breakup!

This made me appreciate Paris for more than her iconic early 2000s lifestyle. She’s worked hard and struggled, even as a privileged heir. She was so raw. Thank you Paris!
