Year of Yes - Shonda Rhimes

I listened to this as an audiobook and I'm so glad I did, I'm not sure it would have been as fun if I had read a print copy. It kind of felt like Shonda Rhimes was right there having a chat with me, and it didn't feel like someone was "reading" the book to me. That can make or break an audiobook.

As can be  guessed from the title, this book is about the year (and then some) that the author decided to say yes to things that she was nervous about and took her out of her comfort zone. Fellow introverts will identify with her life pre "Year of Yes" (raising my hand here!) and will laugh along with many of her reasons for saying no to invitations. It was nice to get some insight into how a person of her "power"  on TV could still be insecure about social situations.

Grey's Anatomy fans will love this book for the insights into how the show started and grew and the origins of the characters. Sounds like that set is an intense but fun place to be. 

I'm giving this a 9/10 as an audio and it will appeal to many. Would also be a good first choice to anyone experimenting with audiobooks.
