3 stars does NOT mean it wasn’t a good book!! I really wanted to know what Carrie Fisher was gonna talk about next, I just didn’t enjoy it as some other books!

It's a short read but I enjoyed it, the chapters read like mini-essays on moments of Fisher's life delving into her experiences with celebrity, substance abuse, mental health and the overall effect all of those things have had on her family. Which Fisher tells with a combination of love & compassion for those involved along with her unique humour about how incredibly ridiculous and fucked up it all is.
