Becoming by Michelle Obama
4.0

This was a long but beautiful biography of Michelle Obama—an inspiring story of personal growth, resilience, service, and deep love for family. Through her words, we witness both the private and public moments that shaped her, from the heartbreaking (like the time she was publicly ridiculed for a protocol misstep with Queen Elizabeth) to the joyful (like simple date nights at the theater with her husband). She offers a powerful inside look at what it means to be First Lady, along with some thoughtful insight into President Obama as both a leader and a partner. Just when I thought I couldn’t love her more… I do. The only sad note? Her confirmation that she has no interest in running for office. Still, her influence is undeniable, and this memoir left me grateful for her voice.
