Paris A Memoir– I’ve never been a fan of Paris Hilton, but I saw her interviewed when her memoir came out, and I was so intrigued. She went through a terrible time as a teenager. She has helped change the “ranches” industry that parents sent trouble teens to. She’s let a fascinating like, and she seems to finally be happy. 4/5 stars
