emotional inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

4.0

The audiobook being read by Carrie Fisher and her daughter, Billie, is what pushed this to 4 stars for me. The writing was a bit chaotic and disjointed, with parts somewhat repeating at times. Listening to the author read with her own inflection and emphasis (and accents!) made this a much more enjoyable book. A touching insight into Carrie Fisher, and a personal look into some of her feelings of being and not-being Leia.

(Copy-pasted from my Goodreads review)
I'm going to be honest it was boring and there was way too much rhyming. C.F.'s Dad cheated on her Mom and left her so naturally without therapy the first chance C.F. had to do the same to someone else she did. She admitted she didn't even like Harrison Ford she just slept with him just to sleep with a married man. "His marriage ended because of nothing to do with me." You had an affair with him, yes the marriage ended because of you. 

It's hard to read about how Carrie was almost raped and she just keeps insisting that those men were "probably just going to take me to another party." No, honey no. That's not why they got a 17yr old drunk and tried to leave with you. Also after rescuing her Harrison Ford forcefully kisses C.F. against her will. She's in the middle of giving the cab driver her address and he kisses her without asking for consent. Not that she can consent anyway she was 17 and he was in his mid- 30's.
