***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.

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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"One of the world's most recognizable personalities delivers a memoir with surprising depth and purpose... The most impressive thing about this memoir is the gracious and compassionate eye with which Hilton views her past. Unlike many other similar stories, there is no tone of self-pity or martyrdom. Delivering a masterclass in owning your own story, Hilton shows how to live with purpose, compassion, and beauty."
— Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Hilton's memoir is perfectly poised as society starts to reflect on how we treated young women in the early 2000s. An unputdownable reckoning for anyone who lived through that time."
— Booklist (starred review)

"Revealing. . . Affecting and triumphant, this is a must-read."
— Publishers Weekly

Your mountain is like no other and one that you had the strength to climb alone and leave your footprints for other children and parents to learn from!

My daughter and I read the book and shared your pains through tears and emotions. Unbelievable the strength you empower and the encouragement to believe in yourself! It was always there, you figured out how to use it in the most powerful way!

Paris, we love you and thank you for sharing your story with us! Hod bless you and your beautiful family!

P.S. Carter was your mountain, you just needed to climb it and you did it!!!!

Was unexpectedly a super good book! I thought it would be a bit of a ditzy snore but it was very raw and real and had some shocking truths in it! Best book I've read in a long time, will be rereading it over and over. Paris really went through a lot and she's so extremely strong, she's nothing like her public persona. Goes to show that things aren't always what they seem. Highly recommend!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Really insightful and honestly kind of fun!
Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2023

I feel like Paris’s brand these days really is that: insightful while still being fun.

I’m really working on identifying my own feelings and owning them, rather than observing others and making judgments based off reactions of others. I’m allowed to own my feelings! (Sorry, Paris inspired me!)

And I genuinely enjoyed this book! I think it gives such an intimate, if not slightly calculated, look into Paris’s life and headspace. There’s always so much more to any story than we know and Paris isn’t excluded. Sure, there’s always 3 sides to a story: person A, person B, and the truth. But, who are we to decide someone else’s truth?

I do think I am slightly biased, because as a gay man who grew up during the aughts, pop culture has an extremely special place in my heart. Especially the 2000s era pop culture. It was such a specific moment in time that will never happen again in that specific way. So, yeah, I am a Paris fan just like I’m a Britney fan, a Nicole Richie fan, a Lindsay fan. They’re my father, son, and Holy Spirit. It was just iconic and that’s something I really respect.

Obviously, Paris isn’t perfect. I’m not the biggest fan of her relying on her ADHD to excuse behaviors, situations, etc. She wasn’t doing it often, but sometimes it feels dangerous as the conversation surrounding mental health grows bigger and bigger. Is it a good idea to have the vernacular to identify a “why” for certain behaviors? Of course. But too many people fall into using it as a crutch.

Like I said, I had a good time reading this. Paris is a human being just like the rest of us. And she definitely shows it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Surprised
Reviewed in Canada on February 25, 2024

I will be honest I was not sure about this book and if I would enjoy it. I do find memoirs are hit and miss and although I never missed an episode of the Simple life, I wasn't sure this book would be for me.

Even as I started the book at first when Paris is jumping all over the place and explaining her ADHD, I thought I cannot follow this book. But, once you get into it, it became a real page turner for me.

Some books I read and get my reading time in other books are every time you get a free second you want to know what happens next. For me this book was the latter, I was try to get things done faster so I could in some extra reading time.

I respect the fact that this is her story but she did not pull others in what happen to her. She tell you how she feels and will tell you about what happend but does not want to share their experience, I respect that. I also realize how hard it must have been to share all of this with the world.

For me it was a five out of five and I was a little sad when it ended. I wanted to keep reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Raw and Inspiring
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 30, 2023
Verified Purchase
A brave, honest memoir detailing horrific abuses of power within institutions. The impact this has had on Paris is clearer in the way she avoids looking too deeply at the first date rape episode of which involved her drink being spiked, but it's obvious her parents, particularly her mother feel so guilty - as the rightly should - for disbelieving her when she disclosed the physical and sexual abuse she wax suffering at the hands of the staff in the so-called boarding school/medical facility she was imprisoned for Te'o years within. Her strength and attitude is inspiring, but I can't help wondering if she's still trapped in an element of denial when it comes to part her parents played in her predicament. Overall, this memoir brings to light a billion dollar industry that thrives on vulnerable children keeping quiet, and has resulted in the lifelong trauma of those that survived and the addiction and suicides of those who didn't. Hopefully the information contained within the raw, heartbreaking book forces the government to act to shut the places down and bring those who must be held accountable to account. It also raises awareness of the issue of consent and the epidemic of men feeling entitled to rendering girls unconscious and raping them for their own sexual gratification to give themselves a feeling of power. This was not explored, I don't think Paris is ready, but it's just as damaging. The abuse of minors and the sexual assault of women must be eradicated and any book that brings these issues to light is worth reading.

Paris is a courageous, beautiful, positive woman and I'm glad she's finally free, and pray she one day finds ultimate peace.
