"Yes Please is a great story...because it is self-damning and hopeful at the same time." -- Los Angeles Times"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"Demonstrates the skill of this excellent comic actress, a funny woman who roots hilarity in specifics." -- Washington Post"Required reading for all young women." -- Huffington Post"[Yes Please] is honest words of wisdom within a joyous story structure." -- Philadelphia Inquirer"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
