Just say yes to reading Amy Poehler's memoir! The "Saturday Night Live" and "Parks and Recreation" alum penned 2014's "Yes Please" and later explained its title: "The 'yes' comes from my improvisational days and the opportunities that come from youth, and the 'please' comes from the wisdom of knowing that agreeing to do something usually means you aren't doing it alone." Amy also discusses body image and parenting in the book in a way that makes her even more relatable.

"Girls" creator, writer, director and star Lena Dunham published her first book in 2014 — and it was a serious and shocking read. In "Not That Kind of Girl: A Young Woman Tells You What She's Learned," Lena opened up about being sexually assaulted at Oberlin College. She also stirred up controversy for writing about her curious interactions with her sister when they were children and for joking about being a "sexual predator." In a statement she gave to Time in November 2014, she said, "If the situations described in my book have been painful or triggering for people to read, I am sorry, as that was never my intention," she said. "I am also aware that the comic use of the term 'sexual predator' was insensitive, and I'm sorry for that as well."
