Story
In a stunning literary debut, Carrie Fisher chronicles the excruciatingly funny adventures of Suzanne Vale, young film star and drug addict, who survives a rehab clinic only to rejoin the equally harrowing world of Hollywood. Out there on the edge, despair flips into hilarity, and we're left laughing as Suzanne struggles to come to terms with her various fantasylands. Carrie Fisher's reading of her first novel evokes the deliciously irreverent humor that formed the lens through which she looked at life in the '80s.

Story
The victim of a painful past and a fatherless childhood, Dinah Kaufman is searching for love that will last - or at least, a reasonable facsimile that comes with a warranty. She nearly found it in her marriage to hugely successful playwright Rudy Gendler. But when she fights to hold on to that now-extinct romance - or at least prevent Rudy from falling for someone new - Dinah finds herself in a variety of wild situations.

Publisher's Summary
2018 GRAMMY® Award for Best Spoken Word Album
The Princess Diarist is Carrie Fisher's intimate, hilarious and revealing recollection of what happened behind the scenes on one of the most famous film sets of all time, the first Star Wars movie.
PEOPLE magazine Best Book of Fall 2016
New York Times Best-seller
Star Wars VIII: The Last Jedi, featuring Carrie Fisher, is scheduled for release on December 15, 2017. Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds debuted on HBO in January 2017.
When Carrie Fisher recently discovered the journals she kept during the filming of the first Star Wars movie, she was astonished to see what they had preserved - plaintive love poems, unbridled musings with youthful naiveté, and a vulnerability that she barely recognized. Today, her fame as an author, actress, and pop-culture icon is indisputable, but in 1977, Carrie Fisher was just a teenager with an all-consuming crush on her costar, Harrison Ford.
With these excerpts from her handwritten notebooks, The Princess Diarist is Fisher's intimate and revealing recollection of what happened on one of the most famous film sets of all time - and what developed behind the scenes. Fisher also ponders the joys and insanity of celebrity, and the absurdity of a life spawned by Hollywood royalty, only to be surpassed by her own outer-space royalty. Laugh-out-loud hilarious and endlessly quotable, The Princess Diarist brims with the candor and introspection of a diary while offering shrewd insight into the type of stardom that few will ever experience.
What the critics say
People Magazine’s Best Book of Fall 2016
“Fisher offers a thoughtful, sardonic meditation on the price of fame, cost-of-living adjustments included.” (J.D. Biersdorfer, The New York Times Book Review)
“Characteristically frank and unflinching, funny and true...The Princess Diarist is about a woman’s relationship with desire - her own, and of others’ for her - writ large, as large as Star Wars.” (Julianne Escobedo Shepherd, Jezebel.com)
“In her funny and frequently touching new memoir The Princess Diarist, the iconic Star Wars actress and author reveals the diaries she kept as a 19-year-old starring in the blockbuster sci-fi film.... It’s an eye-opener for fans, but it also shows a gifted writer even at a young age. There was a lot going on between Princess Leia’s hair buns.” (Brian Truitt, USA Today)

Help me Carrie Fisher, you're my only hope.
This was completely entertaining. I laugh out loud in public with head phones on. I felt as though I were listening to an old friend I hadn't seen for awhile. Then it hit me, she was gone.

Grating greatness
Carrie Fischer's honesty is more than refreshing. I found her voice rather grating and had to take breaks, but always came back for more.

she's a bit angry....
and a bit pissed off, a bit bitter ,& a whole lot funny....We really missed a lot. Should have her as the mega star instead of Harrison...the last 40 Tyler's would have been a whole lot more fun.
Sometimes painful to listen to because I lived through that same period. I do feel for her, and myself, and I love the humour because that is what gets you through it...

Carrie Fisher is Extraordinary
In this audiobook, the wonderfully talented Carrie Fisher narrates her life story, focusing mainly on her experiences during the shooting of Star Wars. If you're a fan of those movies, this book is everything you could ever want to hear. This book was my second audiobook purchase and it was well worth it. Carrie speaks with a wide range of emotion while reliving her long and exciting past - enthusiasm, joy, sadness, pain, and total and brutal honesty. She describes in vivid detail a childhood spent with an absentee father and an overworked-turned-underworked mother, how she wasn't sure she ever wanted to be an actress but had nothing better to do, then she got cast in a movie and it blew up so much bigger than anyone had previously thought, how she hated her Leia hair, and of course, details about her affair with Harrison Ford. I highly recommend this audiobook. #Audible1

Great book
Carrie Fisher writes wonderful books. This one is so honest and funny that you cannot help but love her. It is very sad that she is no longer around to write more. She sounds like the kind of person you would want for a friend. I have listened to this book 3 times.
