NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Do you want to get to know the woman we first came to love
on Comedy Central's
Upright Citizens Brigade? Do you want to spend some
time with the lady who made you howl with laughter on
Saturday Night Live, and in movies like
Baby Mama,
Blades of Glory, and
They Came Together? Do you find yourself daydreaming
about hanging out with the actor behind the brilliant Leslie
Knope on
Parks and Recreation? Did you wish you were in the
audience at the last two
Golden Globes ceremonies, so you could bask in the
hilarity of Amy's one-liners? If your answer to these questions is "Yes Please!" then you
are in luck. In her first book, one of our most beloved funny
folk delivers a smart, pointed, and ultimately inspirational
read. Full of the comedic skill that makes us all love Amy,
Yes Please is a rich and varied collection of stories,
lists, poetry (Plastic Surgery Haiku, to be specific),
photographs, mantras and advice. With chapters like "Treat Your
Career Like a Bad Boyfriend," "Plain Girl Versus the Demon" and
"The Robots Will Kill Us All"
Yes Please will make you think as much as it will make
you laugh. Honest, personal, real, and righteous,
Yes Please is full of words to live by. **
