this short memoir/transcript of her one woman show was hilarious. if you’re looking at reviews wondering if you should read this, my answer is yes but pick up the audiobook. hearing carrie read it herself i feel definitely improved my experience and it was a fun time overall.

“But the main thing I’ve learned, I learned all by myself, no help needed. I learned not to get my tongue pierced. Because if you’re getting it pierced for the reason why I think you’re getting it pierced and you’re not good at that thing to begin with, no little piece of jewelry is going to save the day.”
God she’s brilliant - there’s way too many funny lines to include! Can’t wait to read her other books 😆

While I love listening to autobiographies read by the author, she did read this as though it was one of her travelling performances. ie lots of yelling at the end of a sentence for emphasis.
RIP Carrie <3

Although Carrie's ultimate outcome was not ideal after her personal battles, I still found her attitude in this memoir inspiring even though I don't struggle with the same problems. She definitely puts a lighthearted spin on her issues that I think could be helpful for others in similar positions.
If you're at all a Carrie Fisher fan, I definitely recommend this book.
