If You Ask Me

Jennifer

What a nice, old lady. Perhaps TOO nice. No big reveals or worthwhile life lessons. I appreciated how positive and optimistic she was, however. 

It-girl Betty White delivers a hilarious, slyly profound take on love, life, celebrity, and everything in between. Drawing from a lifetime of lessons learned, seven-time Emmy winner Betty White's wit and wisdom take center stage as she tackles topics like friendship, romantic love, aging, television, fans, love for animals, and the brave new world of celebrity. If You Ask Me mixes her thoughtful observations with humorous stories from a seven- decade career in Hollywood. Longtime fans and new fans alike will relish Betty's candid take on everything from her rumored crush on Robert Redford (true) to her beauty regimen ("I have no idea what color my hair is and I never intend to find out") to the Facebook campaign that helped persuade her to host Saturday Night Live despite her having declined the hosting job three times already. Featuring all-new material, with a focus on the past fifteen years of her life, If You Ask Me is funny, sweet, and to the point-just like Betty White.

A palate cleanser- nice and bland but a little funny too.

I don’t know where to start with this review. I decided on a whim to read this on the last day of 2021. I thought I’d round off my year with a short book full of wit, wisdom and life lessons. I was right, this book was all of those things - in addition it was truthful, vulnerable and gratuitous. However, this reading experience will always be tainted for me, knowing I read this on the last day Betty White was alive. Waking up new year’s day and finding out she had passed was such a shock. In tribute I’ll be sure to read her other novels throughout the years and absorb any wisdom she had to share. Hollywood lost a legend and the world lost a wonderful person.

A very sweet, very quick read! Betty White is a true gem and it will be a tragedy when she passes. She touches on that a little in this book. I want to read everything she's written as this was just touching and enjoyable!

A super easy and super quick read. It is more like a collection of one to 2 page short little quips and stories. I've not read the rest of her books, but I really felt like I wanted MORE! However, I'd recommend this book to anyone. Betty White is so uplifting and positive in this book, and it put a big smile on my face to read it. Worth it!

Betty's love for stationary speaks to my soul! This book was great, Betty's humor shines through it! I listened to the audio book and it was read by Betty herself so it was like sitting down and having coffee with a friend.
