Shockaholic

Author: Carrie Fisher

Carrie Fisher’s “Shockaholic” is a raw, hilarious rollercoaster ride through her unconventional life. With her trademark wit, she dishes on Hollywood, addiction, and her infamous electroconvulsive therapy. Fisher’s candid reflections on her relationship with her father and encounters with Michael Jackson are both touching and absurd. It’s like having a late-night chat with your funniest, most outrageous friend – one who just happens to be Princess Leia.

Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.
