Wishful Drinking by Carrie Fisher
2.0

Life can be hard and not everybody get's the same cards, so I can understand the frustrations that Carrie had in her life, but this book is just poor.

The story is random and not really existing, it's a bit what you expect an elder woman to tell you when you come over for tea. Tids and bits about their life. And the way it it told. You would expect a woman of 52 who has had treatments for her mental illnesses since she was 15 would be able to have a better coping mechanism. The sarcasm is just harsh, she has a negative viewpoint on things in life, that I had never seen as negative (and I tend to be a pessimist).
