I love her sense of humor and I’m very drawn to people that are real and own their shit. That makes her a hero to me.  I loved the book. Some doesn’t age well, but like Carrie would care about that. I just wish it was longer. Also did the audiobook and highly recommend because her reading her life and her accents as well as her impression of her mom is well worth it.

You can hear Carrie Fisher's voice coming through the pages. A great example of 'you have to laugh otherwise you'd cry'.

This was fun, though a bit abrasive in places. I think you can really tell that this is an adaptation of a stage show, and that holds it back in some ways, but it was super short and funny and the audio was a nice companion while I made dinner.

There are several jokes in here, specifically regarding sexual orientation and race that may rub you the wrong way. There not hateful, but they do hit a little weird at times.
