theinstabookworm's review against another edition
For a memoir called Becoming, there was very little in this book about the experiences that made the former first lady who she was. It reeked of privilege and while I understand that part of that was due to luck and the family she grew up in, I wanted more grit and more about her overcoming struggles. Even her infertility struggles were short-lived when she got pregnant on her first round of IVF and it produced one of her daughters. I just found this to be so unrelatable and I guess I wasn't expecting that.
