The Princess Diarist

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 

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?

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
