Love Carrie Fisher, but I didn’t enjoy how the book reads almost like a transcript of a one woman show and less like a novel (which makes sense, since it is based on her one woman show)

As a big fan of Carrie Fisher since the original Star Wars movie, I knew a lot of the stuff in this book. But she still had some poignant and "fun" things to say about addiction and mental illness.

Never a Star Wars fan and this book didn’t help to convince me towards the force. If anything, I feel bad for Carrie. She doesn’t even sound real (but that actually does make sense after knowing a bit about her life). This book desperately grabs for something in the direction of trying to seem relevant, and even worse, funny. I listened to the audio book and hearing her voice was… painful and cringe. Just because you’re a product of Hollywood incest, it’s not a golden ticket to inherent story-telling skill or comedy. Interesting insight into the fucked up life of the those that grew up in Hollywood… aka those that don’t know the difference between stardust and reality.
