I went with 2 starts because it says it is okay. I can't say I liked it but I did not dislike it. It was okay is the best way to rate this book. I was pulled in by the name of the book, I would describe the book as Alyssa Milano's point of view on politics and the world. I don't like to discuss politics and definitely in open forums and I don't think this is the place at all. I will not agree or disagree with her however I think it is always good to hear others options.

She shows her fears for the future... her gratitude for the past... and her intentions within the pages. Honestly, it felt a bit strange.
Mostly a political op ed... well researched and expressed... But with her futuristic visions (daydreams?) sprinkled in. I had to back up a bit to make sure of what I was reading... a little disjointed at times... but interesting, nonetheless. 3 stars.

A truly inspiring and intelligent collection of essays about her experiences during COVID, her political activism and her desire to help create a more equal America. Would that more people were brave enough to speak up about the injustices in America and the need for political changes required to combat the highly entrenched institutional racism in that country. This is great on audio and highly recommended for anyone who wants to see a more fair and just America. I love that she was such an RBG fan too and refused to pander to fans who are just looking for behind the scenes gossip about her work in television and film (you will not find that in this book).

I watched "Who's The Boss?” pretty much the entire time it was on the air. I haven't followed Milano much since that time, so I wasn't aware that she is an activist and fairly active in getting meetings with high profile politicans.
I didn't know what to expect when reading this one, but I have to say, I was delightfully surprised at the political slant it takes. I don't think that just because someone is an entertainer they can't be aware of the issues that concern us all.
The chapters are short and the writing is definitely conversational (a lot of f-bombs), but I found myself engaged and it didn't hold me at a distance.

RATING: 3 STARS
Sorry Not Sorry is not about Milano's "Hollywood"life. It is more about her views on social issues and politics. Spoiler alert she is not a republican. This book will not be for everyone, and that's okay. This is one person's views on her experiences and what she sees in the world. I have liked Milano since Who's the Boss, and have watched many shows just for her. I happen to agree with many of her points and views so this book worked for me. My only downside of this book was that it was more of her journal-like thoughts than social justice content.

Outstanding series of essays, written primarily during the pandemic. A harsh look at where we are, but a hopeful view of where we could go. So glad I listened to this. Hearing her words in her own voice definitely elevated it from 4 stars to 5 for me.
