Yes Please

3.5 Stars!
I ended up doing audio on Yes Please and I thought it was fun and entertaining. I definitely chuckled in a few spots and enjoyed Amy Poehler’s takes on encouraging women to be their authentic selves and her distrust in technology. Girl, I feel the same on technology!
I like Amy Poehler more after listening to this. She’s funny, intelligent and doesn’t apologize for being herself, bossy and a bit brash. I want to be friends with her now!
I loved the 80’s references, her time on Saturday Night Live and how she got involved in improv comedy. Her comments on self-empowerment were also great to listen too.
I would highly suggest the audio format on Yes Please.
I just think Amy Poehler did an excellent job of narrating her own story. I felt like we were sitting down for tea and just chatting. It was a wonderful time of conversation and thoughts.
Recommended to fans of memoirs, Saturday Night Live and humor!

Great review Ginger, glad you enjoyed it! I’ve wondered about this one before, and thought the audiobook might be the best way to go! You may have convinced me ;)

Great! I hope the audiobook works for you as well. I think going this route was better for me in the long run.
