Wishful Drinking by Carrie Fisher

2.0
I read this via audiobook.
This wasn't really what I was expecting. It was filled with a lot of sarcasm and self-deprecating jokes, and I ultimately felt like I learned a lot more about her mother Debbie Reynolds than I did about Carrie herself. It also rubbed me the wrong way of how negatively she spoke about "Star Wars" - and no, I'm not a fan (I've only ever seen 3 of the movies, and only one of them featured Princess Leia).
I always appreciate when an author narrates their own audiobook (especially when it's a memoir) but I wouldn't recommend this one. The "humorous" bits seemed way too forced to me.
