I'm a huge fan of the way Shonda Rhimes writes, of the truths she weaves into the stories she crafts for TV, so I had a pretty good idea that I'd like this book. I wasn't prepared for how much I loved this book. It is honest and vulnerable, it shares insights that I myself have had in the last year, and gave way for other insights that can nudge me toward a more joyful self. I loved listening to Shonda read it - not sure if I would have loved it as much on the written page. Great, great book.

I loved how open and honest she was with her struggles in life. As women we often times feel alone or ashamed about our everyday problems. I applaud Shonda for overcoming anxieties being in the spotlight and finding ways to push through. It really takes a village.

After over a year of being stuck in lockdown and jobless, wondering who I even am anymore. I couldn't have picked a better time to read the Year of Yes. I love Shona even more than I did to begin with.
Her words have encouraged me to just be me, and that's more than okay. Plus when we can do things again, don't be afraid and do more. Be fearless, what do you have to lose.

It's tough. Shonda Rhimes is an amazing writer. She writes beautifully and it was a pleasant listen. I mean I used to watch Grey’s Anatomy (at least the first 5 seasons?) and I loved every conversation in the show. Content wise though, there isn’t anything new. I’ve heard it before in books like Lean In. If you are a fan of Shonda pick this book, if you’re looking for new ideas/content, I’m not so sure. 2-3 stars.
