“Year of Yes” by Shonda Rhimes is a deeply intimate, hilarious and poignant call to arms.

Penned by the mega talented and most powerful woman who created Scandal, Grey’s Anatomy and executive produced Catch and How to Get Away with Murder provides insights into how her life changed when she learned to say YES.
She also asserts that saying yes can change anyone’s life. Since she had three children at home and was managing three hit shows on TV, she had all the reasons to say no to any invitation.
She could have said no to media appearances, speaking engagements and Hollywood parties.

To a person as introverted as Shonda Rhimes who loves to say that she often hugs the walls when she goes to social events and gets panicky before media interviews, saying no would have been the most natural thing to do.
In 2013 during Thanksgiving, Delorse her sister told her that she never said yes to anything and suddenly everything just changed.

It makes for a laugh out loud, impassioned and profound novel in which the author shows how her life changed when she started saying yes to things.
