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.
