A woman who had the world in her hands
Or at least it seemed for those who had
Watched Star Wars, fantasized about or wanted to be her
Talking about Princess Lea, actually more like Carrie Fisher
I just finished listening to her read her book Wishful Drinking
Her observations and reminiscing of her life had me laughing
But also there was a hint of sadness and madness entangled
In her words, as she laid it all out for us, so she could be heard
Her parents, celebrities, hopping beds, with each other and others
Her mother, Debbie Reynolds, a little eccentric and oh so gorgeous
Her father Eddie Fisher, a popular artist and also a womanizer
And her brother who did not have the same hangups as her
She had many romances but married only once to Paul Simon
A daughter, Billie Lourd, whose father was Fisher's talent agent
Talks about her relationships not only with her husband and lovers
But also with her mother, brother, stepfather and even grandmother
What a wild ride her life had been
Substance abuse, depression, dead friend in bed, that's only the beginning
She wrote this at 52, and now I'm keen
To look out for her other books, four more it seems
I'd recommend you check this book out
In fact, grab the audio version, guaranteed you'll laugh out loud
Cheers,

I am so intrigued, now I want to get a hold of this book. 'Wild' is the right word I guess to describe her life. I love her courage to say it all like it was.
Thanks for this share. Love your style, the review in rhyme ♥️
Life really doesn't spare anyone eh
