"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 "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
