Read this on audio from the library. It was narrated by the author which definitely helped me enjoy this a lot. I laughed out loud multiple times. I also enjoyed that when she referenced a speech, it then played the audio from said speech. Such a fun experience!

Very enjoyable. Not my usual favorite genre.
CW: weight talk, most prominent in chapter 8 if something you desire to skip!

It was a puppy parties and inspiring tears my first week of a new job. It was like having a friend pump you up.
evethingiread's review against another edition
I wish I read the reviews before I bought it. I thought it was going to be a motivational book about an introvert who finds some kind of solution or way of dealing with crippling fear of "doing" and being out there in the world and saying yes to life and things.
I DNFd this book because I couldn't, wouldn't, waste more time reading someone boast about their seemingly perfect life. She was so annoying.
Honestly the book made me see how similar her writing style is to the show. Rambling and boasting and so much like Olivia. Oh god I hate Olivia. She annoys me and I'm seeing now where Olivia comes from. Over it. Won't wast more time on it.

I really liked this! It was a relatively easy, fun page-turner. Shonda is a fearless beast, esp after her Year of Yes challenge to herself. This was an inspiring read with lots of positive affirmations and quotes. I've been watching Grey's since 2009, and the writing style of this book is quite similar to the show - especially with respect to Christina Yang's character. One thing that kind of bugged me about this was how chatty Shonda's thought process was in the beginning of the book. It reminded me of the ever so annoying April Kepner character of Grey's Anatomy lol. All in all, I admire Rhimes and I can't wait to see what other 'badassery' projects she has up her sleeve in the future :)
