Year of Yes

I couldn’t stand to force myself to finish the last 100 pages. Even the 100 before that I was brainlessly skimming and speed reading. Because this whole entire book could have and SHOULD have, been a one hour long podcast interview. Shonda’s writing style and content is so juvenile, it has me questioning my love for Grey’s Anatomy.

Yes

I did like this book. The premise was great. The tidbits about Grey's were even better. Ironically, the writing left a lot to be desired, but I think that's because Shonda is a screenwriter, not a novelist. The sentences are distractingly short and choppy and she repeats herself quite a lot. Still, it's a good read and I kept finding myself talking about it, so it did what it was supposed to do--made me think.

Upbeat. 

It's a great inside look to her mindset and I appreciated hearing about her firsts, triumph and even some missteps However, I am not sure this gave me ideas re: how I could say yes. I guess we are supposed to take the leap of faith that because she wanted to when the year was up we will want to as well..
Read this because you are a fan of some of the greatest television drama and want to feel like you know more about the creative process. Better yet listen to it so Shonda can read it to you
