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
