A review by nikitanavalkar
Becoming by Michelle Obama

5.0

I’ve been listening to this one for a while, and I can honestly say this is one of the best memoirs I’ve read or listened to. Seriously I never wanted it to end; both because listening to her soothing narration is absolutely the ideal way to experience this book, and because it’s just so good. Her real life tale of hope and perseverance had me in thrall. Her intelligence and innate goodness shines through in every single word.

She is delightfully candid, about her personal and professional life as well as her time as FLOTUS, and she speaks without drama or sensationalism, as befits her position. The way she speaks of her husband and family had my heart floating and the way she spoke of her goals and dreams had it soaring. Her story is romantic and inspiring and powerful and basically, goals. My love and respect for her quadrupled after this book, and I hope she writes more in future.
