Wishful Drinking by Carrie Fisher

funny hopeful lighthearted reflective fast-paced

4.25

One of the funniest books I’ve ever read. Carrie Fisher was truly a force to be reckoned with, and after reading the book I have a feeling that she’d self deprecatingly yet wittily agree. 

I wish she could have had more time with us, but I’m thankful to have her immortalized in this memoir. 

Cheers to the woman who drowned in moonlight, strangled by her own bra.

Man do I miss Carrie. I highly recommend the audiobook version because she narrated it herself. Her delivery was flawless. I laughed out loud so many times.

Listen to the audiobook for Carrie’s spot-on impressions of her mother, George Lucas, and Cary Grant.
