About this title

Review:

"Pure charm"--People

"Poehler is very funny, so the jokes are very good...Poehler is very wise, so her advice is on point."--Slate

"Delightful...Poehler is frank and funny throughout [Yes Please], as is her nature, but her writing unearths a wise narrator who's seen some of the worst of life and come out the other side unscathed...Can we get more from Amy Poehler? Yes, seriously, please."--Newsweek

"Required reading for all young women."--Huffington Post

"Yes Please is a great story...because it is self-damning and hopeful at the same time."--Los Angeles Times

"Demonstrates the skill of this excellent comic actress, a funny woman who roots hilarity in specifics."--Washington Post

"Yes Please veers between reminiscing and philosophizing. Poehler had developed some principles over the years and shares them in usually funny fashion."--Chicago Sun-Times

"Yes Please isn't a scan of the comedic brain so much as it is something far better---the full exposure of Poehler's funny and very magnanimous heart.--Elle

"Yes Please delivers what it should: life lessons and vicarious thrills...the book is largely a portrait of confidence. Reading it, some of it rubs off on us."--New Yorker

"[Yes Please] is honest words of wisdom within a joyous story structure."--Philadelphia Inquirer
