Yes Please by Amy Poehler
4.0

This was a predictably fun read, very much like Bossypants. Not quite as funny, or at least the same brand of humor as Tina Fey, but maybe I should also listen to the audiobook. It's always fun to read a memoir of someone who's life mirrors your own in many ways. Being a 40 year old mother of two, I identified with all of her fun pop culture references of the 70s onward to what it's like with two little ones stealing your heart. I also love how it reads like a self-help book - stating the obvious stuff mostly, like Daring Greatly, but in a MUCH more entertaining manner.
