Ratings and reviews

Boring 😴 White, rich nostalgia as self indulgent prose. I loved Parks and Rec, I thought this book had the same wholesome, funny sensitivity. However I didn't find any chapter particularly interesting. It feels very underdeveloped. Some parts almost felt deep or funny, but somehow they fell short.

Best celebrity book I've read. Amy Poehler is hilarious and her book is too, but her wisdom and insight by far outshine the jokes and anecdotes in "Yes Please." Amy balances vibrant humor and grounded observations about love, culture, and the daily act of LIVING.

Smart, honest and sincerely funny.
