As a Star Wars fan, I wanted to like Carrie Fisher's memoir, but it was difficult to read and to finish. I skimmed the majority of the pages, especially the diary portion. Most of the book focused on her affair with Harrison Ford, which I honestly did not want to read about. The most interesting information was about her audition for the role as Princess Leia and the few aspects of information about filming. I also didn't like how she mocked some of the fan interactions in the latter part of her memoir. I know some fans might be "over the top", but they are people too.

A little bit of explicit language / not a book for younglings. But I loved the insight into what it was like to become Princess Leia. I love that the audio book was read by Carrie Fisher! It was a fun listen. :)

Some may call it the ramblings of a woman who experienced and survived severe traumas, addictions, and toxic relationships. I would call the Princess Diarist realistic. Unlike some celebrity memoirs, Carrie Fishers feels raw and uncensored. It definitely carried on with far more detail than was perhaps necessary, but when you’re not necessarily in control of your own thoughts and actions, I suppose it can be hard to limit what is shared and what is not.
