This memoir from the bestselling author of Postcards from the Edge and Wishful Drinking gives you an intimate, gossip-filled look at what itâs 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 Fisherâs life. Covering a broad range of topicsâfrom 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 therapyâCarrie Fisher gives an intimate portrait of herself, and sheâs one of the most indelible and powerful forces in culture at large today. Just as she has said of playing Princess LeiaââIt isnât all sweetness and light sabersââFisher takes readers on a no-holds-barred narrative adventure, both laugh-out-loud funny and poignant.
