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

I had to have a few days after finishing this book to be ready to journal about it.
Let me start by saying that I listened to this book in audiobook form, and I loved it. It was narrated by Betty White, and I think that listening to it in her voice just took it to a whole new level.
Let me also add that I love Betty White, and I have been (embarrassingly, maybe) affected by her death. There's something of mourning there, honestly.
This book is wonderful, and I found out so many wonderful things about Betty White that I didn't already know. I would list all of the things that made me happiest about the book, but that would just constitute a bunch of spoilers that would probably take away from the impact of you getting to hear Betty tell you about them yourself. I can honestly say, though, that listening to this only makes me more convinced that she was a true national treasure.
The end of this book was especially impactful. I won't spoil it for you, but I'll tell you that there were real tears there for me. I won't necessarily say that they were sad tears, but there were tears.
I really did need a few days to process this book. It was wonderful, and it was just what I needed in the wake of Betty White's death. If you haven't read it (because I realized it's from 2011, and I'm just behind the times), then I really recommend that you consider reading it. More than that, if you can get your hands on a copy of the audiobook, why not spend a little time with the lovely lady, herself, telling you this story about her life?
As always, I'm including the link below, but I make no money from the sales of this book.
I bought the Audible version of this today, and thoroughly enjoyed listening to the whole thing already.
