I definitely caught myself laughing out loud through many episodes! This is my type of comedy. I'm definitely recommending this to friends & listening again in the future. I hope there's a season 2!!

I appreciate stories like this that remind me of the power of friendship and how we can lean onto each other during hard times. It was very funny & touching

After the first episode I was hooked! I enjoyed how the podcast followed both of their lives and the challenges they faced that led to their own growth and perceptions.

NOT THE "ROMANCE" NOVEL YOU'RE EXPECTING

YESSS! I actually got this book from Audible Escape which usually has cheesy feel good romance stories. I honestly did not look at the genre of the book and was expecting just that. This book totally caught me off guard. I love how there inso true hero in the book... all the characters mean well but their actions lead to an ending that I didn't see coming.

Just when you're thinking "man, this is fcked up" the ending blows your mind even more. The ending was a little bit stretched out, but ehh, it still kept me intrigued. This is the first psychological thrillerI picked up and it has me wanting more.

I was expecting more of a rom comand more details of how Stella perceives the world (from the Autistic point of view) but it gave more of the "oh hey.. I'm shy and pretty, every guy wants a shy pretty girl" cringe vibe. There were a lot of sex scenes that I wasn't expecting. So why wasn't this listed as erotic? (I've never read/listened to a book under the erotic category but I'm imagining this is what it's like with the descriptive kind of cringe sex scenes).

Overall, the story was just a bit cute. No character development or interesting plot. I knew it was going to be a predictable happy fiction ending from the start, but in all honesty, that's why I decided to finish it. For those feel good "Disney" feelings.

I love that David Goggins chose to let his co-author read the book. His author reads it and David Goggins provides insight after each chapter like a podcast interview which I thought was genius. I like how he is REAL throughout the book and. He is able to identify his own flaws and point them out as he goes. It is a good mix of refreshing Self-Help by making the reader pause and think about their own life goals and motivations and his own autobiography. Being a military member myself and coming from a rough childhood, I was able to identify with many aspects in the book.

He is very transparent with many aspects of his life but there are parts he does keep private. For example, he said that he had a child and then never mentioned the child again. He also never described the reasons for his failed marriages or what led up to the divorces. But these unanswered questions still don’t change the message of the book.

The key thing I learned (or was reminded of) was: It’s not too late. Put in the work in order to achieve those goals.

Full disclosure: I’ve never watched any of the Scandal, or Murder She Wrote episodes. I tried watching an episode or two of Grey’s Anatomy but I just could not get into it. That does not discredit the fact that she is a successful television writer. Her voice was soothing to listen to, especially during traffic hour on the way to work. To start off, this isn’t a self-help book that people look forward to. “If you do exactly this, then you’ll get these type of results.” It isn’t an autobiography where it takes us through her entire journey. It is in the title, a YEAR of YES. Just a year. She realizes that she is successful in her job but not successful in many other aspects which she wants to improve upon: health and fitness, relationships, social life, and self-love. She describes herself as an introverted writer who is not very social with others who just loves to work and takes a year to branch out and do things that are uncomfortable for her in order for her to grow, which she does.

In the Audible version she shares 3 recordings of speeches that she has given in that YEAR of YES. (During this time I wasn’t driving but actually parked my car to really enjoy those moving speeches.)

There is a section in the book where she lost me. She started talking about why she’s not married. I understand a working woman and loving yourself, your peace, and your work but she described it as saying “yes” to “no marriage”. If you’re now doing things that you’re scared about, why not give it a try? She ends up being very happy about this decision, which makes me happy for her. More power to her, but that chapter didn’t fit very well with the overall theme of the book.

I cannot rate the content of the actual story or book because I could not get through the first 10 minutes of this Audible! I listened to the beginning which should have been a great attention grabber but the actual reader was very bland! It was so bad. I believe where the author of this book failed is to hire someone to be the voice of the book recording. There is nothing wrong with having someone else who is an expert in reading with expression. I bought this book off of Audible because it was recommended to me after I listened to David Goggins' Can't Hurt Me. I really feel like I wasted my money on this one. I think reading the book on my own would have been a better choice.
