Because, no-one could possibly understand the responsibility associated to be placed on the X. Thank you for elaborating about what to look for in an independent search for the why. And the insight of such a person no matter how many pianos are hanging above the X.

Such a Great book! I learned so much about Paris Hilton reading her book, things many people don’t know or would expect to hear that she went through! It was very well written and kept me interested the whole time, it was hard to put down! I have a lot in common with Paris about my teenage years and it was nice being able to relate to her struggle and know that she turned out okay after everything she went through! Gave me hope even after all these years later at my age! It’s a very good book and I definitely recommend! I’m not the best reader and I read the entire book in less than 3 days that’s very good for me! You’re really right there with her the whole entire book living her experiences right along with her! Believe me it’s worth it! I have so much appreciation for Paris Hilton now knowing what I now know about her and I’m glad she shared her story! Thank you Paris!

This one wasn’t on my list until multiple people recommended it. So I figured I’d check it out. And it was so much more interesting than I thought it would be. Paris is more than the vapid party girl that we all love to hate and hate to love. She has a history. And some of it is really traumatic. This book is about taking control of the narrative and she certainly does that. Paris has ADHD but wasn’t diagnosed until her mid-20s. This caused a lot of issues in her teenage years. Her parents, in an effort to save her life, sent her off to a “school” that was nothing more than an emotionally and physically abusive forced labor camp. She was there from age 16-18. And it definitely shaped who she became. Paris says her story is not an excuse. It’s an explanation. And I think that’s fair. She is a fierce feminist and as she’s gotten older has become an activist for women and troubled teens. She has learned to embrace her ADHD and appreciate the creativity that comes from having it. Instead of fighting the inability to sit still, she embraces it with a fierce work ethic. She does still party. Somehow she still has the capacity to get 10 hours of sleep in a 72 hour weekend, which… I can’t even imagine. But I really did like this book. It is all about loving yourself and how embracing the truth can set you free. About how if you don’t love yourself you can never fully receive love from others. And it’s about standing with your girls and standing up for other women. It’s about the guilt women feel as victims and how to reclaim your strength. I recommend it.

I knew very little about Paris Hilton and found this autobiography to be one of the most interesting ones that I have ever read. To hear all the trauma she went through as a child being sent to these troubles teen camps was just incredible, and to see how she overcame all this negativity in her life and succeed is truly inspiring. Paris did an outstanding job about writing about the good and bad times and doing so with entertaining and riveting stories.

A FAIRLY GOOD READ

When I was growing up Paris Hilton was all over magazines and tv. She was literally everywhere. As with most of the other party girls of that era, she was not treated nicely by the media. I didn’t like reality tv so I never watched her tv shows. I only saw what was in magazines which were mostly lies. I can honestly say I was not a Paris Hilton fan. I saw this book and decided, why not? Honestly, I owe Paris a huge apology! This woman has worked so hard to be who she is. Her story broke my heart in places. Her teenage years were rough! To see that she is finally in a place with her family where she is happy with her husband and babies is the best happy ending we could have asked for.
