Quick and easy read, provides some insight into the mind of the author. One of the more brutally honest books I've had the pleasure of reading.

I miss her voice in the world so much. There are not many celebrities at whose death I felt personal sadness. Hers is one of them.

Had this on my list for a while because Carrie Fisher.  Finally decided to read it because I hadn’t used any of my hoopla borrows for the month and didn’t want to lose them, but wanted something short. 

This is only about 3 hours long, and is adapted from her one-woman show. It feels like a stand up routine in a fun way. It is sad reading this after she’s passed, and her mother as well since her mother is such a prominent character as well - as mothers are. 

The ending is quite funny, and definitely earned. 

Is it a particularly impactful or insightful book? No, but it was nice to spend a couple hours with Ms Fisher again.
