Description

Amy Poehler's debut book is a delightful blend of humor, insight, and personal anecdotes that captures her journey through the entertainment industry and beyond. With a warm and candid voice, she invites readers into her world, sharing stories that resonate on various levels, from the comedic to the deeply personal. The book explores her experiences in sketch comedy, her time on Saturday Night Live, and her beloved role in Parks and Recreation, while also delving into her thoughts on friendship, love, and the ups and downs of life.

Throughout this engaging narrative, Amy's wit shines alongside contributions from a range of her talented friends and colleagues, including Carol Burnett and Patrick Stewart. Their voices add richness to her own, creating a tapestry of shared experiences and humor that invites laughter and reflection. Yes Please is not just a memoir; it's a celebration of creativity, resilience, and the joys of pursuing one's passions with authenticity and heart.

I liked this book. I realise that that sounds incredibly generic and boring but it's true. I gasped with surprise every time a celebrity name was mentioned (I mean who knew Amy knew one of the guys from The Beastie Boys?) and I had to suppress laughter while reading on the bus. My heart was warmed when I read about Amy's childhood and her children.

I have a hard time rating this book. It's funny (though more so in some parts than others) but you also don't learn a whole lot about Amy's life. It's crude but sweet - especially when she's talking about her kids. I listened to it in the car on my way home from work, which is what it was perfect for. I don't know if I'd sit down and read it, but I do recommend the audiobook version with its sidebars and guest readers. So thus it gets a 3 from me.
