* USA Today *An unflinching, sometimes painful, sometimes hilarious look inside the mind of a 19-year-old … It’s invasive, juicy, sad, nostalgic and gripping all at once. It’s as if you’ve knocked the lock off of your cooler older sister’s journal and discovered she’s been sleeping with the hottest boy in school this whole time. * LA Times *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 *[The Princess Diarist] is a radical truth bomb – Julia Felsenthal * VOGUE.com *Carrie Fisher was so real it was dangerous…. My God, girls, we owe her a lot. – Sharon HorganShe didn’t need The Force. She was a force of nature, of loyalty and of friendship. – Steven Spielberg
