APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
We’re thinking that maybe playing Parks and Recreation’s eternally optimistic, kind-hearted Leslie Knope wasn’t a reach for Amy Poehler. Part memoir of her suburban Boston childhood and part behind-the-scenes tales of her comedy career, Yes Please is a sort of self-help book, designed to inspire us to be more empathetic and to stand up for our own beliefs. Poehler ropes in several guest readers—from her own parents to her idols Carol Burnett, Patrick Stewart, and Kathleen Turner—to bring home the book’s witty, warmhearted sensibility.
