According to Yes

The main character, lovely lovely Rosie was actually rather unlikeable. I wouldn't want a friend like her who presents herself as caring and fun, but in fact bulldozes her way into people's lives doing whatever she wants because she thinks it's for the best. Never questioning her actions, no signs of remorse.

No

The ability to drive my car! The narration was very good, I think it was a wise move to have more than one narrator.

Irritation.

I had high hopes for this book, love Dawn French. I thought it would be an easy going light read with a touch of New York from a UK perspective. Which I suppose it is, but I just found the main character so annoying.

Nothing. <br/>From the stereotypical country bumpkin of a nanny ( clearly based on French, herself) to the god awful drag along storyline

Not a chance.... I thought she was funny not cringeworthy

Stereotypes all the way through. Have some imagination at least! Glenn was the only partially believable voice.

**PLOT SPOILER**<br/>Total disappointment with the relationship that builds in a completely farcical manner between the nanny and the grandfather. Oh so he has no life, no fun, no adventure due to the bitter tongued wife, Glenn. Doesn't mean he has to shack up with the plump, very British, "let's make her quirky cos she's got an accent" nanny! The fact they end up in bed together was the final nail in the coffin for this book after a massively dreary start to the unbelievably irritating whine of French's nanny.

Don't bother. I thought the other negative reviews might be wrong, after all; its Dawn French! <br/>What a waste of time!

Each of Dawn French's novels have been a bit worse than the previous one. I loved " A Tiny Bit Marvellous." "Oh Dear Sylvia" was a bit slow in some spots, but was saved by its ending. "According to Yes" was a big disappointment The lead character comes across as a middle age slut. While she is funny and witty, I just couldn't warm to her character. While there is nothing inherently wrong by a liberal, sexually uninhibited heroine, I don't think this story is the right venue.

I was excited as this seemed like a motivational story.. I am Cornish and 38 so was excited to read . Very disappointing Rosie was rude and unlikeable and the story was ridiculous. More like a play than an audio book. Not much happens then it ends. Boring and at some points cringey.

light hearted and easy to snuggle down with.
..... I recommend this one !

This is not my normal genre of reading. But I am a fan of Dawn French so I wanted to listen to one of her books. I saw her in to talking about this book so decided to go with it.
It was a pleasant story and I really warmed to the character Rosie. She comes into the life of a family that are strained in many ways and even though things go wrong it shows that you can make the best of any situation if we care enough. Like I said this isn't my normal genre of reading as I love gritty thrillers but it was nice to have a change and I really enjoyed this a lot.

Loved Rosie - full of life and optimistic - fabulously positive ways of dealing with people!

Dawn understood her characters so well that she really brought them to life for me!

Mary Poppins for adults!

Loved this book - great story - great characters - couldn't wait to get back in my car to continue listening!!

Ok so it's not very believable but I don't care about that... It's about as uplifting and happy as it could possibly be. And now I just have to find all those places in New York for myself...

I really enjoyed this book. I liked the characters in the book who developed really well throughout. This book worked well with different narrators. Worth a listen.

Really enjoyed this book. Couldn't tear myself away and listened to the majority in one day! Raises a smile in several places. I thought the difference in narrator change would bother me but I settled into that quite quickly. Would listen to again, and again.
