Wishful Drinking - Carrie Fisher


Ah Carrie Fisher.  Princess Leia.  I have to admit that I didn't even realize that she had written a slew of books until she passed away.  So like the others I started researching and reading.

Short and bittersweet life story from her own words, Carrie takes writing to a different place than most readers are used to.  From the moment she was born to her famous parents and what that's like, her marriage, life as a single mother and the many times she's tried for roles other than princess leia mold.  Humorous, blunt and heartbreaking.

This was a very short read.  It was interesting to see into her mind and hear her own words.  This one starts off a tad strange until you realize it's Carrie and being inside anyone's mind is a strange thing but being inside the mind of someone with a mental illness is well not a straight line.  We think very differently than other people.

I enjoyed this one.  I am looking forward to delving deeper into her life with her other books.
