My emotions are all over on this one. What a great read Michelle. I am so glad I chose the audio version of this. Well mostly Michelle has a nice smooth pentameter and voice, at times the emotion really comes through

At the beginning of the book, I felt a soothing to my soul. A soul that has been in turmoil due to the current political climate. But then again, at the end, my heart was heavy once more as the stark differences were highlighted.

I liked how this read, it wasn’t a pure chronological telling of her life, she would weave stories back and forth over time, much how it would happen in a real life instance—one story reminds you of another.

This is not a book entirely about Michelle, much of it is about her husband and his rise to president. But then again, when you are married to someone, lives tend to blend together. Sometimes I felt it was too Barack heavy, which is why the four stars. Don’t get me wrong I loved hearing it, but I wish the story was more Michelle’s than reading as 44’s presidential achievements.

So much of what Michelle talks about with regards to disparity rings true.
