Summary: Michelle Obama’s memoir is lively, personal, and inviting. She shares about the challenges of parenting with a distant husband working a demanding Senate job. She describes the experience of being a wife who wasn’t just a pretty face for a election race; rather, she was a fully engaged campaign speaker. And she gives a glimpse into life during and after 8 years in the White House.
Takeaways: Michelle doesn’t hold anything back. Divided into three categories—Becoming Me, Becoming Us, and Becoming More—the reader gets an authentic glimpse into her childhood, her and Barrack’s love story, and life as a First Lady of color, a First Lady with a vision, and a First Lady willing to shake things up.
