Reading this now is a bit of a trip. Carrie makes references to her own mortality here and there, as anyone would, that threw me a little bit. I haven't read anything else by her yet, but based on The Princess Diarist I definitely will. It's real and emotional and so, so funny. Listening to her talk about meeting fans had me near tears and hearing her daughter read her youthful, lovestruck poems was a bonus provided by the audiobook.
