A must listen (as compared to a must read) as Carrie Fisher’s delivery is absolutely iconic. It makes total sense that this book was originally a stage performance. I wasn’t expecting to hear such a wholesome description of mother/daughter relationships- the way she describes her mother is genuinely moving. I appreciated that the contempt she has for her father is shown, not told, and she does a great job describing the wild cast of characters in her life with heart and humor. Just wish it was longer!

Very funny, if a little scattered. Also comes across as very honest and frank. Covers a lot of dark topics, but in a light-hearted way. 

I'd recommend the audio book as it's read by Carrie - it feels a bit like meeting her at a party and her telling you a bunch of random life stories.
