Poehler's quick wit and quirky sense of humor made this autobiography an enjoyable read. She tells the story of her humble begins, the importance of family and how perseverance not luck made her who she is today. For those SNL and Parks and Recreation fans you'll love this backstage pass to your favorite shows.

I read this book in less than a week. That isn't to say that it was especially suspenseful or that I'm a fan girl. I have not watched SNL for years (decades?) and I have never watched an entire episode of Parks and Rec.

I like Amy Poehler but this is a book that didn't need to be written. It has fun anecdotes, some words of wisdom - but it is written by someone who isn't wiser than anyone else or has really lived a life worthy if a book. I sound harsh and don't mean to me. However, this book didn't say anything worth remembering.

I highly recommend the audiobook. Amy reads this alone, with friends, family and the last chapter in front of a live audience. She is funny and charming, and you should really spend 8 with Amy Poehler!
The. Best. Book.
She's so delightful.

This book was so so so good! Amy is so down to earth and relatable. I loved hearing her perspective on so many topics from divorce to Hollywood to how to raise children. I was not even a fan before I checked this out, but now I want to watch everything she's in.

Loved this book! Listened to the audiobook which received an Audie Award in 2015. Amy Poehler is my kindred spirit and comedic heroine.
