Michelle's story is inspiring, empowering, and at times heartbreaking. A true testament to hard work, perseverance, and a desire to help people and how much of an impact one person can have.

Pacing begins quite slow but does pick up progressively as the book goes on.bashsbooks's review against another edition

I didn't think I would cry while reading about the life story of Michelle Obama, from the outside in, she looks like a privileged politician with power, however, how wrong I was.
I admired Michelle from a distance because she was not the typical femenine and demure first lady, she was strong and unafraid to make an impression, being called "difficult" and "intense" all my life, it really gave me someone to relate to.
At first, this book felt slow and boring, I couldn't believe I had to sit through the grilled cheese sandwich part, however, the more I read, the more I found myself relating. The type A personality, unafraid to be herself and standing against bullies, but deeplu insecure and afraid of being good enough, missunderstood and fucking up. It wasn't this privileged politician I was reading about, it was a down to earth woman who had to do twice the work than her peers. Michelle doesn't pretend she didn't have advantages and support, she acknowledges them yet doesn't shy away from her vulnerabilities and fuck ups.
I highly recommend this book, especially if you don't see people like you on the media or in powerful positions.
