Shonda rhimes book review6/20/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I hate when people say “you’re so lucky”. Here are some of the personal thoughts that she shares that I found to be both pertinent and inspirational! I’m Not Lucky – I’m a Badass – And I Need To Own It Yet, although this story is deeply personal about herself, you feel as if you’re in her head, and sometimes you see yourself in her shoes because you’ve been there before. You feel like you get to know her intimately, the way you know Olivia Pope or Meredith Grey. This book is written entirely in first person and Shonda gets pretty personal. That is only part of how this book goes (I’m trying to share and make it enticing, but I also don’t want to spoil it for you!). I wondered if it would be like that Jim Carey movie “Yes Man” where he has to say ‘yes’ to everything and then you see how it changes his life. ‘Year of Yes’ is of course about saying ‘yes’ to things, but it isn’t quite what I thought. Maybe timing is everything for when we read certain books…it certainly was for me! Through reading this book, timing was certainly everything for Shona Rhimes when she decided to do her ‘year of yes’ as well. It came out a few years ago and has been sitting on my shelf ever since, just waiting to be read. I originally heard about this book on The Daily Show (of all places). ![]()
