One of the best books I've read this year. I will read this book again & often. I'm not a big re-reader so that's a huge endorsement of the power of her story. If you love her tv shows, you'll definitely appreciate the writing in this book. And what a treat to get a peek into the life of the powerhouse behind my favorite night of tv. I always believed in the awesomeness of Miss Shonda but now...wow, inspired and moved to do my own dance in the sun. The book is smart, witty, and it wouldn't be a true Shondaland creation if it didn't make me cry and laugh - sometimes at the same time. My copy now has tons of those little flags sticking out of it. There are so many valuable lessons and stunning passages I want to revisit time and time again. I just might buy a second copy that I will allow myself to write in. I think everyone should read this book - 5 stars x infinity!

Ok I kinda ate this book up lowkey, like i loveee greys anatomy so this book flowed really well for me, and read it all in three little sittings in one day.
As an introvert the idea of saying yes can be hard, but I think her little experiment has a good value to it depending on how you embody such an ethos like this. I wont lie though, it could've been shorter and the second half seemed more scattered. Also lots of talk about being a mother which I can't relate to, so those parts obvi weren't the most fun for me.
Overall, yeah shes privileged and not everyone will have this journey to find themselves, but I'm glad she did, and it was fun to see her little breakthroughs.

There are some moments that have me chuckling to tears because of how raw and relatable Shonda is. However it is written journal style so there arent any twists or turns but she made that very clear at the beginning of the book. Still a great read!

I enjoyed it. The main portion I didn't like was her saying that she was not lucky and really harping on that point. To be born in a 1st world country, able bodied, to two educated parents is both luck and a blessing. Not to discount her hard work, but i think we sometimes forget that though we have marginalized identities, other factors place us in a privileged position.

Fantastic! Read it. Listened to the audio book. Read it again. Very motivational.
