I don’t know if one can label this book as a memoir. Yes Please by Amy Poehler (or can she be called the author as it has chapters written by others as well?) is a mishmash of advice, humor, essays, poems, and of course, memoir. Yes please, it is a delightful book to read, brutally honest, sincere, witty and at times harsh on herself. I never thought it would be such a pleasure to read as I have a low opinion of celebrities dishing out advice but Amy Poehler’s Yes Please turns out to be quite perceptive and refreshingly different.What is Yes Please all about? A lot! It is a memoir with a difference, incorporating a lot of other things. Amy writes about her two sons Archie Arnett, 5, and Abel Arnett, 4. And mind you, the book is also dedicated to them. Amy has been married to Will Arnett for nine years and the two went their separate ways in September 2012. Both Arnett and Poehler have kept quiet about it. In Yes Please, Poehler describes it as “too personal” and “too sad.” She also writes about her parents, how she grew up in the Boston suburb of Burlington, about her school and about her time at Boston College. She writes not only about the good things that had happened to her but also her regrets as well. Poehler also writes about her experiences with cocaine, ecstasy and marijuana, which is why I feel the book is brutally honest. And, of course, there’s plenty of tales from Saturday Night Live.
What I really like about Yes Please by Amy Poehler is its intense honesty without giving much juice to the gossip mill. She is brutal on herself, and doesn’t paint rosy pictures where there were none.
I will first admit that I’m a sucker for these type of books. I’ve read Mindy Khaling’s, Tina Fey’s, Lena Dunham’s and even Ellen Degeneres’. I’ll also admit that I’m a 24 year old girl, and that my opinions are probably biased based on my age and the (lack of) life experiences I’ve had so far.
First of all, if you’re considering picking up the book versus buying the Kindle version, I would strongly recommend the hard copy. The book is formatted with glossy pages full of colored pictures and chapter titles that I really love (attached some photos and a video). It makes the reading experience a whole lot more exciting. Every time I turned upon a new chapter, I would have to stop for a moment and smile to myself.
That being said, I was excited about Amy’s book because I’ve an avid fan of Parks and Rec, and her previous work on SNL. To me, she just seemed like a really warm person and people only have compliments when talking about her. I couldn’t wait to read a book in her voice and learn more about her past.
Some Youtube clips that I just had to dig up after reading about them from Amy’s perspective:

2009 Emmy’s bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jSk8yzlm94I’m glad to say I was not disappointed at all. Compared to some of the other authors that I have mentioned, Amy does have more stories and chapters on experiences that I couldn’t quite relate to (pregnancy, divorce, raising kids), but by reading about those stories I felt a little more prepared for the future.
