If You Ask Me: (And of Course You Won't)

I loved reading Betty's words from her heart. She's a legend. I'm sure that all that know her personally, are blessed with her friendship.

Diving into this collection of Betty White’s musings felt like sitting down for coffee with her—warm, funny, and endlessly charming. She effortlessly shifts from on-set tales of The Golden Girls to reflections on aging with grace, each anecdote delivered with her trademark wit. The chapters are brisk but packed with personality, so it’s easy to pick up just a handful of pages and walk away smiling. I especially loved her behind-the-scenes stories about working alongside legends like Mary Tyler Moore; they’re nostalgic without ever feeling overly sentimental. Betty’s genuine affection for her animal friends shines through in every section, reminding you why she was such a devoted advocate for shelters and wildlife causes. Even the beauty-and-lifestyle tips—delivered with a wink—are full of the same down-to-earth humor that made her a household name. Overall, this book reads like an intimate chat with a beloved friend. Whether you’re a lifelong Golden Girls fan or just looking for a pick-me-up from one of television’s greatest treasures, you’ll find yourself returning to these pages again and again.

This book was written like Betty White was sitting with me at the table, sipping coffee and sharing stories. These short stories range from aging to animals. The book contains many black-and-white pictures of Betty, people she worked with, her family, and her pets. It's a quick, relaxing book to read.

Betty White is such a delightful character, a leader in comedy for tv as well as an avid animal advocate. This book is a delight from page one to the end. I was able to connect and sift through my own similar memories with tearful happiness and a longing for days gone. What I would give to live those days over again . This is a light and quick read not to be missed.

An enlightening read

A slow read but imformative! Betty is one of the funniest ladies in the business! Did bring a lot of reminders of past shows I had enjoyed watching.

I'd have to say this book was a surprise to me. I actually started reading it half through another book, which is very good as well. However, this one just seemed to pull me back in a bit more, and the reading was effortless, which is a testament to the style of writing. A must read on the list of books I'd recommend highly. Whether a fan or not, Betty White has wisdom to be shared and for the benefit of many!

I love Betty White so this was an enjoyable read. She was such a wonderful person and her kind soul towards animals is missed.

...disguised as Betty White Shares anecdotes and the wisdom of (back then) almost 90 years. It is a refreshing experience to read this, to laugh with this special Golden Girl, and to think about the truth behind so many of her words. I am glad I bought this book, and hope for many more to come from Betty White. Thank you, for being a writer!

Omg, where to start. I read this book in 3 days. Although I had little time. But the book is written in little parts. Every chapter is 2-4 pages with beautiful photos in between. It is such a comfort read. I am going to order all Betty's books in the nearby future. I missed a GG part in this book though. But maybe she has written about that in one of her other books. So she has been forgiven. We lost a true gem with this beautiful actress. The things she has done and seen in her life are remarkable. I am so glad she loved to write and that way she shared a part of her life behind the scenes with us.

A little disappointed. Yes a paperback, but quite a flimsy light paperback compared to what I've bought previously. I actually didn't want to give it as a gift, it felt cheap. A fantastic option to just read yourself, but not the kind of quality you'd want to gift.

Good read, enjoyed

Loved this book and could NOT put it down. Finished it in one reading and that would be my only remark, that it was not nearly long enough... but it was brilliant. Like Betty's other books this one was like having a one-on-one sit down chat with Betty herself. Her takes on everything were heartfelt, hysterical and full of love, like the lady herself. It made me miss her even more, but what a remarkable, long and wonderful life she led. This book is like an extra gift from her. I love you Betty...
