A review by evarano
Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes

5.0

Maybe a 4.5 ⭐️. I really, really enjoyed this! For me, this was a story about building confidence, taking ownership of and celebrating your successes and being brave enough to go after what you what in life. I loved all the behind the scenes of greys, but more importantly, Rhimes struggles. I never would’ve guessed a lot of what she struggled with, but it felt refreshing to hear about it from someone who lived such a different/successful life. I thought a lot of what Rhimes had to say was really relatable and important. The writing style is pretty round about, but I liked it. You can feel her confidence pouring through the story, and I get that might rub people the wrong way, but she does address that in the book. I like that she acknowledged her successes. I did struggle with the chapter on weight, just listening to it as a sore subject, but I appreciate her perspective on it. Also, I listened to this on audiobook and really enjoyed her narration of her story. I wish I could’ve seen the pictures though! Highly recommend!

As I didn’t have a fav book of this year, this is one of my Top 10 of 2023! ⭐️
