Really enjoyed this! Was great to hear about Michelle and Barack's stories before being in the public eye, the struggles they endured and the changes they made :)

If listening on audiobook I'd recommend 1.15x speed. :)
Michelle's story is inspiring, empowering, and at times heartbreaking. A true testament to hard work, perseverance, and a desire to help people and how much of an impact one person can have.

Pacing begins quite slow but does pick up progressively as the book goes on.

Am I Michelle’s friend now? I felt so close to Michelle and her family through every page. Even though I knew how most chapters ended, I was still rooting her on through every new obstacle. Michelle’s writing and careful choice of words is so powerful. She places emphasis on the importance of language and she truly lives by it. I loved every second of this book and am thrilled she wrote another one. Thank you, Michelle, for your honesty and for sharing your hope.
