I can personally relate so much to Shonda. I enjoyed this peek into her life and her perspective. Only giving 4 stars because the end did get a little slow for me.

Does this book feel like one big humblebrag? Oh, definitely - but as someone who grew up on Grey's Anatomy, I really enjoyed getting a peak into the creator's life. And she's built something really incredible, so brag away. I chose the Audiobook which I'm grateful for, because it meant I didn't mind the repetetiveness while listening (I think it would have driven me crazy if reading). Altogether I enjoyed the listen and felt inspired to say YES to more things that scare me this year.
I’ll go 3.5 stars. I liked the book and I live her writing. I felt like she was chatting with me and that was fun. I think I felt a bit turned off with the whole “Thursday night belongs to me” thing. I know you’re Shonda Rhimes and your shows are big hits. I appreciate that like regular people who just watch your shows, you have hang-ups and anxieties too. It’s probably just me, but I couldn’t really relate to stuff like talking to Oprah or sitting in the President’s box at Kennedy Center or dancing around in a designer dress while get photographed for the cover of Entertainment Weekly.

There's a part of me that wants everyone to read this book, but there's also a part that wants to keep it just for myself. Either way, love you Shonda!
