In the book I'm reading, Yes Please by Amy Poehler I learned a lot about her and saw parts of her that I hadn't seen before. Of course, she is still a hilarious and happy person and the book is funny, but there were also times in the book where she showed a more hidden side to her, or her sad experiences and memories. For example, she told a story from her childhood about when her best friend's mom died of cancer but she also told crazy, funny stories about that friend. Another example is when she talks about an SNL skit where without realizing it, she made fun of two real disabled twins. She wrote a lot about that and she felt bad about it for the rest of her life, but she also wrote about all the fun she had at SNL. Her book was a mix of sadness and happiness, which is like life, a mix of both, so I think this book showed her life in an accurate way.
