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.

dark funny lighthearted fast-paced

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

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.
