Of the Carrie Fisher books that I’ve read, I don’t think this is her strongest. It’s mostly her going on for way too long about her affair with Harrison Ford with a little bit of complaining about fans/autographs and excerpts from her diary that seem almost too poetic to be real. I think I expected more of her time during the filming of Star Wars than what we got. I recommend her other memoirs, but I don’t think I would recommend this one

I love Carrie Fisher and Star Wars, and I'm a few years late on this memoir. It made me appreciate Carrie more as a person and celebrity- she clearly had a complex relationship with her fame and the legacy of her role as Leia. Her daughter reading the poetry that Carrie wrote during the filming of Star Wars felt raw and real, her prose thoughtful and reminiscent of what your young 20's definitely feels like. Carrie herself is uproariously funny, and I found myself laughing out loud many times! She was also shockingly candid about her own death and image, so listening to this after her passing was bittersweet. I'll probably want to read her other memoir soon.

A little bit of explicit language / not a book for younglings. But I loved the insight into what it was like to become Princess Leia. I love that the audio book was read by Carrie Fisher! It was a fun listen. :)

i always knew i loved carrie fisher, but this book made me love her more than i thought possible. a totally raw and real examination of her experience as princess leia and a very intimate look into her affair with harrison ford. her diary entries moved me, her poetry hit home, and every once in a while she’d make me cry with her oddly prophetic insights. i will definitely be reading more of her work.

Some may call it the ramblings of a woman who experienced and survived severe traumas, addictions, and toxic relationships. I would call the Princess Diarist realistic. Unlike some celebrity memoirs, Carrie Fishers feels raw and uncensored. It definitely carried on with far more detail than was perhaps necessary, but when you’re not necessarily in control of your own thoughts and actions, I suppose it can be hard to limit what is shared and what is not.
