A friendly, lighthearted, reassuring kick in the pants to go out there, treat yourself right, and be your best you. Sometimes I found it a bit too eager and the writing a bit choppy—you can tell that she writes for TV, which is not a bad thing—but for the most part the conversational tone really works. A good pre-New Year's book!

Shonda Rhimes writes like she talks, and she is funny and heartfelt at the same time. She lives her truth and owns who she is,

This is a great inspirational, quick, read! It speaks to modern challenges women face in their careers and offers a pretty transparent account of talent continuing to develop and emerge along with Shonda's adult development.

I only know Shonda as the writer of my favourite TV show (Grey’s) so wasn’t sure what to expect from her memoir but what I got was an inspirational book from an inspiring woman.
I loved the writing style (how could I not?!) which felt like a chat with a friend. It wasn’t dry but instead full of positive messages which we can all take from.

The storytelling in this book is very good. The author's growth from saying yes to things that scared her was inspiring. But overall, I felt sad listening to this book. I felt like I was listening to someone go through their life trying to find meaning and purpose, but never quite getting there. Yes, there was community and laughter, but something was missing. I finished the book feeling unsettled instead of inspired.
