As of late (2016 & this year) it seems a lot of our beloved actors/actresses have been departing us too soon, and to say the least, Carrie Fisher (and her Mom) was definitely one of the loss that was truly felt around the globe.
Whether you know her as 'Princess Leia' or from her books, Carrie touched many.
She was witty, voracious, intelligent, witty, etc.
Her last book " The Princess Diarist" is all of that and more.
I'm sure so many of us, while she was promoting it, had heard of it due to the fact that she reveals that she had that affair with the one and only Han Solo (Harrison Ford).
Obviously, the media picked this up due to the fact that this secret had been kept for such a long time, but this book reveals so much more, a different side to Carrie.
If you haven't picked up a copy, do yourself a favor and purchase it, because it is beyond hilarious, and so Carrie.
At first, the idea of having a book with pages of a journal that she kept seems campy, especially when it talks so much about her affair.
I got the opportunity to read it and this book IS intimate, but not the way one would think. It is filled with pages of Carrie's fears, insecurities and hopes. Something that connects with her reader, because we've all been angsty teenagers at some point. She pours her idealistic, witty sarcasm and vulnerability as a person, not just a "celebrity."
Her entries reflect that she was always honest with herself and knew that despite her shortcomings and insecurities, she was a strong woman, who hadn't found herself, just yet, but she had an idea of WHO she would like to become.
She longs to be many things, but above all she yearns to be noticed. Genuinely loved for who she is and not for who we think "Carrie Fisher" was.
While reading this book, I felt her warmth and her personality radiating through the pages. She has always had a wonderful ability to put her thoughts and feelings in writing, and this book is no exception. Within her journal entries, there are some short poems, that reflect her longing, and her inner struggles (at the time). This is a perfect book to have in your personal library as a wonderful tribute and keepsake of our beloved Princess from 'Far Far Away...'
This is absolutely a joy to read, and is heart-wrenching to think that she is no longer with us.
