Yes Please by Amy Poehler
3.0

Hilarious lady.... but...

Amy seems kind and hilarious. But, yet, also comes across as domineering and judge-y. Maybe she is just so transparent that we are getting a good dose of who she really is- flaws and all. And, I would never say that’s a bad thing. Like I have found with tons of memoirs lately, this one lacks a certain level of vulnerability which makes me wonder why you’re writing a book about yourself if you’re gonna leave out some of your depths. You can tell she values privacy and boundaries with strangers which is great! But.. again.. then what’s with the memoir?

I think she’s great. And this was basically an enjoyable read. Not sure I would recommend this one first off to other people though.
