Praise for The Princess Diarist
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
"There's tremendous insight into the volatile heart of a young
woman, seen through the eyes of her wiser, older self still seeking
her place in the universe."--Anthony Breznican, Entertainment
Weekly "Are you a woman who's ever fallen for a man who might fit
this description? 'With him love was easier done than said/instead
of taking you to heart he would take you to bed/and you take what
he has to offer lying down/you're getting more involved while he's
still getting around.' Yes? Read on...[The Princess Diarist] is a
radical truth bomb."--Julia Felsenthal, VOGUE.com "An unflinching,
sometimes painful, sometimes hilarious look inside the mind of a
19-year-old actress in the throes of a Hollywood
locationship."--Meredith Woerner, Los Angeles Times "An
unexpectedly emotional read."--The Verge "Fisher [is] a force to be
reckoned with, both on the page and in real life."--Heather
Havrilevsky, Bookforum "A frank, self-deprecating
memoir...outspoken, honest commentary of what it's like to be
Princess Leia on and off the screen."--Kirkus Reviews "The Princess
Diarist...is about the making of Star Wars in 1976, but it's
definitely not for the kids -- a wry, witty look back through the
diaries she kept at the time, its main event is her steamy affair
with co-star Harrison Ford."--Colette Bancroft, Tampa Bay Times
