Very light and breezy. Geena is lovely and quirky and honest but don’t expect salacious Hollywood gossip from this one. She’s a class act.

Wow. Geena Davis is a badass.
I obviously knew who Geena was from her iconic roles in Beetlejuice, A League of Their Own, and of course.....Stuart Little. But in recent years I had fallen in love with her character as Nicole Hermann on Grey's Anatomy so when I saw she had a book I was immediately interested.
I chose to listen to the audio version since Geena has such a distinct voice, it was nice to hear it all come from her. She speaks on so many topics, some make you laugh, some make you gasp in fear and some fill you up with joy. Growing up as a quiet young girl to branching out into the world as a model turned actress learning to take no BS, Geena focuses on the importance of speaking out for yourself and others. Dying of Politeness is the perfect title.
