I might be biased because of my political standing and my love for the Obamas but I loved this book. Michelle's story is so inspiring-it felt like I was sitting with a friend listening to her tell me about her life. She doesn't shy away from her struggles, and I loved how open she was about figuring out her path, balancing family and work, and dealing with self-doubt.
I loved learning about her childhood and how her parents always believed in her. Her relationship with Barack is admirable. She talks about the highs and lows of their relationship in relatable ways.
This book is filled with so many nuggets of wisdom and moments that made me laugh or even tear up a bit. It's not just about her time in the White House, either-though those behind-the-scenes glimpses are fascinating-but about her whole journey of becoming who she is. This was an amazing heartfelt and inspiring read!
