I know you're sick of celebrity memoirs, you're sick of female celebrities talking about feminism, blah blah blah. Amy Poehler is an American actor, comedian and writer. Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to the only book I care about these days: Yes Please by Amy Poehler.

one of this year's essential reads * Stylist * is simply one of the best things about the 21st century so far. a smart and funny woman who isn't either of those things all the time and doesn't mind admitting it because she thinks that's important * LA Times * Half memoir, half advice column, and 100 percent wisecracking, sharp-as-hell, belly-laugh-making Poehler * GQ *įunny, wise, earnest, honest, spiritually ambitious. And her book is like sitting in your kitchen with your best friend, drinking too much wine, laughing, crying and maybe doing embarrassing mum dancing * Harper's Bazaar * Poehler is that rare thing: wise without being bossy, smart without making you feel a bit stupid, funny without making you wince. Yes Please is what happens if you take the wit of Saturday Night Live, sprinkle it with the warmth of Nora Ephron and marinade it in the spirit of the best, most empowering women's magazine. wickedly funny and razor sharp * Observer * Yes Please isn't a scan of the comedic brain so much as it is something far better-the full exposure of Poehler's funny and very magnanimous heart * Elle * bristlingly intelligent, guffaw-out-loud memoir. has particularly smart advice on how to ignore the internal whispers that give rise to self-loathing it should be piped into the girls' changing rooms at every secondary school - Books of the Year 2014 * Evening Standard * Required reading for all young women - Best Books of 2014 * Huffington Post *Ī joy. The funniest, smartest and frankest memoir I've ever read - Doug Johnstone, Books of the Year 2014 * Herald *
