"Grant’s prose possesses a stream-of-consciousness quality...in the acknowledgments, the author thanks Roberta Morris Purdee, a documentary producer who has frequently worked with Grant, for 'her ability to translate and arrange my handwritten ink-stained pages.' The net effect of that approach is that 'I Said Yes to Everything' often reads as if spoken out loud, complete with language that occasionally repeats itself...and fragments that often take the place of fully formed sentences...an intimacy and directness in how she shares [makes for an] admirably candid autobiography [of] a woman who has really lived."
