If You Ask Me (And Of Course You Won't)

Betty White

3.0

inspiring lighthearted reflective fast-paced

Look- I like Betty. Grew up with her when my family played Golden Girls instead of Disney channel. I would think this book would have more insight, but it's really a random collection of short anecdotes from her life, particularly after 2010. I didn't find it that interesting, but I did learn that she likes her animals. My score is pretty generous cause I liked the messages in the book, but if it wasn't this author I'd give it 2 stars. Lucky me it took only an hour to read.
