The book is the story of the writer, Danny Wallace, about him being ‘The Yes Man’. This means that he will say yes to every opportunity or offer that comes on his way.

Also important is the relationship with his girlfriend, of whom he is not sure if it actually is his girlfriend. The most fun part is definitely the end. I will not tell about this, due to spoilers, but I did really enjoy reading the end. It gave a feeling of satisfaction, as if you said yes to everything yourself. To get back to the Disney reference, it is like you finally found your
