The Year of Yes is very funny, yes, and quite sexy, yes, but mainly, it's a hell of an interesting story. What would happen if you decided, for one year, to say yes to everyone who asked you out? Would your life change? This woman's did - from the inside out, and by the end of the year, she was a different person than the one who began it. In that sense, it's a coming of age story. I laughed throughout this book, but I also cried, and not only that, I thought about how my life might be different if I decided to take a chance once in awhile - not just romantically, but in terms of my friends, my work, everything. The writing is smart, and my husband caught me laughing out loud in my sleep after I'd been reading before bed. Recommended to everyone who's ever been single, who's ever been sad, and basically, to everyone who has any sense of humor at all.

Pretentious nonsense 21 Mar 2011
By shpip2
Format:Hardcover
Either write chicklit or don't. I have an English degree and still found the constant literary references and name dropping exhausting, pointless and damaging to this story. I also didn't overly sympathise with the author. If it is a true story I am not sure the book made me feel very comfortable with the fine line between mind broadening and rather unpleasant and promiscuous. Not impressed.

Hi - I'm a fan of chicklit, a nice feel good story and a bit of escapism, but this book really didn't tick any of my boxes. The main character in the book goes through life meeting seemingly multiple guys a day who ask her out - when does that happen?! I understand it is based on a true story, but just seemed really unrealistic and I got bored and started skipping sections. Other people might like it as there are a couple of amusing bits, but it wasn't my cup of tea.
