When I first started this book, I wasn’t too enthused. Especially when she kept going on about her “blessed genetics”. Conceited much? But then she got into it AND I LOVE THIS BOOK! I feel empowered after reading it and I feel like I understand Shonda and her characters so much more now.

Now I just feel like I am the sun and I need to dance it out. :)

How to write a review for this book? Hmmm. It is a memoir, but I don't read many of those and therefor am not sure how it compares. It's *kind of* an inpirational book, but I've read enough of those over time to know that this stands out as being far too genuine and casual to really be squarely in that category. You know what it was? Delightful, funny, helpful, insightful and just- just like hanging out with someone you like for a while. As impressive as Shonda Rhimes is (and I wasn't fully aware of how & why before I read this), I can't say that she has made a very big impact on me with her storytelling. BUT! I will say that whenever Grey's Anatomy was on TV, I could not click away if Kristina Yang (played by the wildly talented and cool Sandra Oh) was featured prominantly in the story.... and now I know why. That one character always {{{shone}}} through the noise with a different light, and the secret of why was revealed in this book. There's also so great advice in here, so....I can't NOT recommend it. I admit it was skeptical about something so mainstream, but this book was a pleasant surprise.

Just a big, fat YES! This book was amazing, so inspiring and motivating. I loved it.
