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.

It took me a while to get used to her sense of humour, and I have to admit I started it once and gave up. But about half way through, I couldn't wait to get back in my car to listen to more. Her reading was rougth to the ears, like she had repeated so many times it was like from a script. But her frankness and honesty did manange to shine a light thought that. You can be a movie icon born from icons, and you still have a teenager, parents,xs that make us connect.

I absolutely adore this woman, but the way she read her own words was just so amazing. The way she talked about her daughter made me tear up 🥺

What a woman

I can’t give this book and performance as many stars as it deserves. So funny and uplifting if you’re a person that has lived with mental illnesses.

Very well written -a love story about her family & a very personal well articulated description of her mental illness. She's a smart & generous lady that will be forever missed. I feel this book will help everyone if u r bipolar or if you have someone in.your life that experiences it.

Witty, heartfelt & tragic

I have always loved Carrie Fisher. I have learned more about her in her later years as she had shared so much...she does a great job of embracing her mental health issues. I have watched Wishful Drinking but this book provides even more insight into her life.

very entertaining - very difficult subject
