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 15 years of her life, If You Ask Me is funny, sweet, and to the point - just like Betty White.

Title: Sweet Betty White
Review: As this book is written by Betty White, it is just as sweet as she was on TV. It was a very enjoyable read, I just wish it had been a little longer. She was a funny, sweet lady, that seemed like a joy to be around.

Title: Good, but…
Review: This was a good book. Full of that Betty White humor and knowledge. However, I’m not entirely sure what I learned for my own life. I think it is just a fun ready about someone many of us adored on television.

Title: America's Golden Girl
Review: This is the first book by Betty White I have read (because it was on sale), and you better believe I'll be reading the others. It felt like having a conversation with your grandmother and being mesmerized by the reminiscences of a long life well-lived. As someone who feels like we lost all of my grandma-figures in a really short time (someone put Dolly and Julie Andrews in a bubble!), I'm so glad Betty White's legacy of work lives on.

Title: Good read on Betty white
Review: I’m enjoying this book She’s very down to earth when she writes about her getting into TV and you know being in different movies it’s not like she’s bragging. She’s more like any other person talking to you. You like to read about lives radio I autobiography I always try to get them.

Title: No autograph
Review: I'm sure the book will be great but I bought it because it was autographed but it wasn't. False advertising. It meant something to me to have her autograph. Going to try one more time and return this one.

Review: 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.

Review: 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.

Review: ...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!
