I listened to a second short audiobook written and narrated by Carrie Fisher. This one is a memoir and she said she pulled together the stories she told in a one-woman stage production about her life also called Wishful Drinking. I used the word "outrageous" to describe the portion of her life fictionalized in Postcards from the Edge, but that word is better applied to the entirety of her life remembered in this book. And she admits that some of her memories are gone due to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) she has received for her mental health. Fisher was in her 50s when she recorded this and her voice sounds rougher. She shares a lot about her drug use and recovery. She tells about her frustrations with George Lucas. She reveals much about living with famous parents. She also confesses about her dating life, which is often crude. Despite her pain and struggle to recognize reality vs. Hollywood fiction she is able to looks at life with humor.
