Carrie Fisher uses her trademark humor to convey the authentic and enthralling narrative of her life in Wishful Drinking. She was chosen at the age of 19 to portray a princess in the Star Wars film, despite having famous parents. "But it isn't all sweetness and light sabres." Unfortunately, in addition to her hard profession, her duty as a single mother, and her fantastic hairstyle, Carrie also spends her leisure time fighting addiction, enduring the ups and downs of manic depression, and relaxing at different mental health facilities. This is an amazing story of having Elizabeth Taylor as her stepmother, being married to and then divorcing Paul Simon, having her daughter's father abandon her for a guy, and then waking up one morning to discover a friend dead next to her in bed.
