About this listen

 In Wishful Drinking, Carrie Fisher tells the true and intoxicating story of her life with inimitable wit. Born to celebrity parents, she was picked to play a princess in a little movie called Star Wars when only 19 years old. "But it isn't all sweetness and light sabers."

Alas, aside from a demanding career and her role as a single mother (not to mention the hyperspace hairdo), Carrie also spends her free time battling addiction, weathering the wild ride of manic depression and lounging around various mental institutions. It's an incredible tale - from having Elizabeth Taylor as a stepmother, to marrying (and divorcing) Paul Simon, from having the father of her daughter leave her for a man, to ultimately waking up one morning and finding a friend dead beside her in bed.

I'd heard Carrie Fisher was a good and funny writer, and was she ever! Three cheers for her.

Witty and fun and interesting

Absolutely hysterical, what an incredibly witty, insightful woman. Her deadpan delivery was spectacular . It is ludicrous that such a talented woman had such low self esteem. I was crying with laughter when she was talking about Bob Dylan and perfume.

What a woman, buy this book.
