I enjoyed this book. Shonda is warm and funny and an overall delight. Did the message of saying yes to life really resonate with me? Not so much. It was amazing to hear about her transformation but in self help I want more specifics, more steps, more instructions. I want more anecdotes. My take away is do all the things, say yes except when you say no then say yes to saying no. It may have inspired me to say yes to buying new socks and also to maybe binging Grey’s Anatomy, but I think that’s where the yeses may have stopped.

I dont know much about Shonda Rhimes, so wasn't sure what to expect. And the first chapter kind of put me off. But I kept going and ultimately really enjoyed this book and learned a few things from it. A fun read that also had some great lessons.
Saw it on the Good Reads Women's History Month list and decide to check it out.

If you're genuinely interested in knowing the woman behind all the genuis, this is a wonderful little peak into her life.

“no. is a complete sentence… in that moment i am set free. the reason i have been so afraid of saying no is set clear. i worried what if she gets angry, what if she doesn’t want to be friends, what if things get ugly. and now, it’s happening, and all i think is good. now i know. the worst thing that could happen is happening and so what? it isn’t so awful. i am happier knowing what kind of person this person really is, than not knowing. saying no, what i really wanted to say, allowed laura to reveal herself by getting her to say what she really wanted to say. that she was using me for what i could do for her…”❤️❤️
