About this listen

 This memoir from the bestselling author of Postcards from the Edge and Wishful Drinking gives you an intimate, gossip-filled look at what it’s like to be the daughter of Hollywood royalty.

Told with the same intimate style, brutal honesty, and uproarious wisdom that locked Wishful Drinking on the New York Times bestseller list for months, Shockaholic is the juicy account of Carrie Fisher’s life. Covering a broad range of topics—from never-before-heard tales of Hollywood gossip to outrageous moments of celebrity desperation; from alcoholism to illegal drug use; from the familial relationships of Hollywood royalty to scandalous run-ins with noteworthy politicians; from shock therapy to talk therapy—Carrie Fisher gives an intimate portrait of herself, and she’s one of the most indelible and powerful forces in culture at large today. Just as she has said of playing Princess Leia—“It isn’t all sweetness and light sabers”—Fisher takes readers on a no-holds-barred narrative adventure, both laugh-out-loud funny and poignant.

I couldn't stop listening! Funny, sad, insightful, witty and an illuminating autobiography about Carrie Fisher, her show business upbringing, her battle with mental illness and substance abuse, Carrie's relationship with Michael Jackson, her tumultuous relationships with men and the infamous dinner with Ted Kennedy! Told through her own words. Highly recommended!

This is an easy, yet surprisingly touching story of Carrie's life, her mental health treatment, her relationship with her father, her relationships with other celebrities. It was great to hear her voice reading it. It's like listening to the chatter of an old friend. Very easy to listen to while doing housework and cooking. Insightful, surprising and moving. A great book that I'll listen to again and again.

An awesome book, what a great storyteller.
