Never in a million years did I think I would be so moved by a Paris Hilton memoir. I'm glad that she's not only shared her story of the trauma she endured, but that she now works to keep others from experiencing the same. I could tell she has had a LOT of therapy and I'm glad for that because I don't know if I'd be capable of moving past a lot of what happened to her.
Yes, she used a ghostwriter, many celebrities do that for their books. I still think her voice came through. Some of the self promotion throughout was a little annoying but it's Paris Hilton so, I mean, you pretty much know what to expect in that regard.
I'm sure others have added plentiful content warnings so please check those out if certain things trigger you. This book was really rough to read in spots but it gave me a better understanding of who she is and what she went through, and reinforced the "don't judge a book by its cover" adage.
