***An Instant New York Times Bestseller***
From the woman who is credited for launching what we know as the celebrity focused, “brand” driven, social media obsessed popular culture of today, comes an honest and surprising memoir that reckons with that truth, and shows that there is so much more to Paris Hilton than you might believe. This extended edition includes a bonus chapter detailing her motherhood journey.
I was born in New York City on February 17, 1981, three days after Valentine’s Day.
From the time I was a toddler, my brain skipped and flickered with the chemical imbalance of ADHD. Sometimes it was too much.
I’m not bragging or complaining about it, just telling you: This is my brain. It has a lot to do with how this whole book thing is going to play out, because I love run-on sentences—and dashes. And sentence fragments. I’m probably going to jump around a lot while I tell the story.
I came of age during the most turbulent pop culture period ever.
The character I played—part Lucy, part Marilyn—was my steel-plated armor.
People loved her. Or they loved to hate her, which was just as marketable. I leaned into that character, my ticket to financial freedom and a safe place to hide. I made sure I never had a quiet moment to figure out who I was without her. I was afraid of that moment because I didn’t know what I’d find.
I wrote this book in an effort to understand my place in a watershed moment: the technology renaissance, the age of influencers. I also wrote this book so that the world could know who I am today. I focused on key aspects of my life that led to what I am most proud of–how my power was taken away from me and how I took it back, how I built a thriving business, a marriage and a family.
There are so many young women who need to hear this story. I don’t want them to learn from my mistakes; I want them to stop hating themselves for their own mistakes. I want them to laugh and cry and embrace every aspect of who they are with fearlessness and pride. We all have our own brand of intelligence, and, girl, fuck fitting in.

It was very interesting. Parts were not so interesting about just the glamorous life. I was very intrigued by her being in numerous supposed teen bad behavior facilities. I never knew how horrendous they treat them, some even dying. Scarred for life. But she’s a way more driven and accomplished person than I ever knew and I Truly Admire her for who she is.

I tried really hard not to be a hater while reading this book. Reading about a privileged woman living everyone’s dream life is close to cringy. Although I do admit Paris is pretty funny, and just like everyone else has had some tragic things happen to her—I still couldn’t help but to roll my eyes while reading. It contains everything you think it would and says everything you think it would say. You can probably pass on reading. Again-things haters say lol

This book opened my eyes on places that are supposed to “fix bad kids”. It also made me see who Paris Hilton really is. She had the strength to be vulnerable. Extremely well written. It will make you think twice about places like that if you were ever considering sending your child to one. I truly recommend everyone read it.

I’ve always been a fan of Paris (she’s an icon) so I was excited to start this memoir.
The beginning of the book seems a bit jumbled as she jumps from one thought to another – a vivid portrayal of her mind grappling with ADHD. Yet, as the narrative unfolds, it settles into a smooth rhythm, unveiling a very interesting life story – from her struggles with ADHD to her traumatic experiences at CEDU and Provo, and the subsequent PTSD. Her ordeal at these schools is nothing short of a chilling nightmare – horrifying and disturbing (similar to the haunting history of residential schools in Canada). Yet, it’s inspiring to witness how despite of (or maybe because of) her traumatic past she is now a beacon of resilience and optimism, consistently promoting for authenticity and self-love, unfazed by the haters. That’s hot.
Her run-in with the infamous Harvey Weinstein, the fallout of the leaked sex tape, her stint in jail, her advocacy work against the ‘troubled teen’ industry – all add layers to her compelling narrative. She acknowledges several times she has an incredibly privileged life and doesn’t attempt to pretend she hasn’t. There were moments when I yearned for her to delve deeper into certain aspects of her adult life, but just when vulnerability began to surface, she’d veer towards something less profound. She’s weathered countless storms and it appears she’s only recently receiving the proper help she needs.
I read the paperback edition that came with an update on her life, a year post memoir release, documenting her journey into motherhood via IVF and surrogacy – an interesting addition as her & Carter kept the pregnancies a secret from everyone – including her family (which in this day is quite an incredible feat).
She mentions that she’d love for her mother and sister (Nicky) to write their own memoirs. Personally, I’d love to read Nicky’s as it seems like she had a VERY different life from Paris.
For me, the thing that stands out the most from Paris’s memoir is her unapologetic ownership of her life, her missteps, and her unyielding ambition to achieve fame. Yet her story a stark reminder that no matter how privileged we may be, it is no shield against life’s adversities.

A book that will make you want to do your best every day at using your courage to share your vulnerability and make it to the other side. So special and so beautifully written.

I have no idea why I decided to read Paris’ Memoir other than I enjoy memoirs. I have to say that I learned there was some real substance to Paris, a substance that was never apparent in her publicity fueled lifestyle. I should have known that she had a date rape event in her life which probably, along with her ADHD, pushed her into the frenetic life she had for so many years. Date rape and sexual abuse has scarred the lives of so many and she told her story without looking for sympathy or excuses. What I was most surprised about, however, was that she was sent away to one of those teenage camps so many troubled youth, especially of the wealthy, were imprisoned in as a last ditch effort by her parents to get her life under control. She told her story honestly and with empathy to her parents who truly were scared for her and were sold lies just so others could get rich while abusing children. I didn’t care about her clubbing and singing and boy friends and sex tape (although that too was sexual abuse) and reality shows, but they were a part of her life and those much younger than me probably enjoyed it. I hope that she has found happiness with her husband and her children and enjoys her life for many years to come

I was so surprised at how well written this book was. I could not put it down. Paris tells all and does not sugarcoat anything. She tells it all the good and the bad.
