<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> "No. 1 New York Times bestseller"--Cover. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b>This last book from beloved Hollywood icon Carrie Fisher is the crown jewel of ideal Star Wars gifts. <i>The Princess Diarist</i> is an intimate, hilarious, and revealing recollection of what happened behind the scenes on one of the most famous film sets of all time.</b> <p/>When Carrie Fisher discovered the journals she kept during the filming of the first <i>Star Wars </i>movie, she was astonished to see what they had preserved--plaintive love poems, unbridled musings with youthful naiveté, and a vulnerability that she barely recognized. Before her passing, her fame as an author, actress, and pop-culture icon was indisputable, but in 1977, Carrie Fisher was just a teenager with an all-consuming crush on her costar, Harrison Ford. <p/> With these excerpts from her handwritten notebooks, <i>The Princess Diarist</i> is Fisher's intimate and revealing recollection of what happened on one of the most famous film sets of all time--and what developed behind the scenes. Fisher also ponders the joys and insanity of celebrity, and the absurdity of a life spawned by Hollywood royalty, only to be surpassed by her own outer-space royalty. Laugh-out-loud hilarious and endlessly quotable, <i>The Princess Diarist</i> brims with the candor and introspection of a diary while offering shrewd insight into one of Hollywood's most beloved stars. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <b>Praise for <i>The Princess Diarist</i></b><br><b><i>People</i> Magazine's Best Book of Fall 2016 </b> <p/>"Fisher offers a thoughtful, sardonic meditation on the price of fame, cost-of-living adjustments included."<b>--J.D. Biersdorfer, <i>The New York Times Book Review </i></b> <p/>"Characteristically frank and unflinching, funny and true...<i>The Princess Diarist </i>is about a woman's relationship with desire--her own, and of others' for her--writ large, as large as <i>Star Wars</i>."<b>--Julianne Escobedo Shepherd, Jezebel.com </b> <p/>"In her funny and frequently touching new memoir <i>The Princess Diarist</i>, 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."<b>--Brian Truitt, <i>USA Today</i><br></b><br>"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."<b>--Anthony Breznican, <i>Entertainment Weekly</i></b> <p/> "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...[<i>The Princess Diarist</i>] is a radical truth bomb."<b>--Julia Felsenthal, VOGUE.com</b> <p/>"An unflinching, sometimes painful, sometimes hilarious look inside the mind of a 19-year-old actress in the throes of a Hollywood locationship."<b>--Meredith Woerner, <i>Los Angeles Times</i></b> <p/>"An unexpectedly emotional read."<b>--The Verge</b> <p/>"Fisher [is] a force to be reckoned with, both on the page and in real life."<b>--Heather Havrilevsky, <i>Bookforum</i></b> <p/>"A frank, self-deprecating memoir...outspoken, honest commentary of what it's like to be Princess Leia on and off the screen."<b>--</b><i><b>Kirkus Reviews</b> <p/></i>"<i>The Princess Diarist</i>...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."<b>--Colette Bancroft, <i>Tampa Bay Times</i></b> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> <b>Carrie Fisher</b> was an author and actress best known for her role as Princess Leia in the <i>Star Wars</i> franchise.
