'Yes Please' by Amy Poehler (44/52)


Writer, actress and comedian, Amy Poehler recounts her life so far in a series of essays, memoirs, random bits of advice and photographs.

Oh, man, I love Amy Poehler. I've never been a serious watcher of Saturday Night Live where she first came to the general public's attention, but she was pretty much an instant fave when fourteen year old Sophie saw her in Mean Girls way back in '04. It's been ten years since then, and she's skyrocketed fame-wise since then. And for good reason. She's warm, funny, takes no shit, and insanely smart. All of those traits are on show in this oddball collection which is, man, just a lot of fun.

Her advice is never pretentious, and her stories come organically, and without too much attention to typical structure which makes it more of a conversation with Poehler than a straight memoir. It may or may not have made me buy the audio book. (It definitely did)

4 out of 5 improv groups.
