I do miss Carrie Fisher. She had such a great writing voice, and it was so nice to see her commentary on various things, knowing she had fully reached that lovely stage of being a woman of a certain age who no longer has any fucks to give. I wish I could have seen what she would have had to say about various events in the past several years.
This book talks about her career as Princess Leia in the Star Wars franchise, because she completely acknowledges that she and Leia are tied up in many ways that a real and fictional person probably shouldn’t be. I’m just so glad I never had aspirations to be a celebrity. What a weird world to live in.
Anyway, if you’re a fan, read this book. It is a little sad in places, because it was written fairly close to her death, and there are a couple of moments that ring very differently because she passed away not too long after she wrote this than they otherwise would have. But it’s mostly a lovely tribute to a character that’s very important to a lot of people, including the one who happen to look just like her.
