Becoming by Michelle Obama
4.5
slow-paced

This is a great memoir. I was especially touched by the intimate look at her marriage; they are a phenomenal example of partners who support one another's giftings, push one another to be better, and sacrifice for one another and for their family. I think Michelle did a good job not sugarcoating how hard that can be, at times, and yet how ultimately rewarding. I also found so much relatability as a mom who also works. All the struggles, especially mental/emotional, that she describes are relatable. In another life, I'd like to imagine we would be friends. :)
