hard to rate and review a memoir, it’s their life story they’re sharing with us after all. i enjoyed the writing, i listened to the audiobook so it was nice to hear michelle’s story directly from her. 

the pace was heavy leaning on her upbringing, her love story was very endearing, and her career change showed me a lot about her personal ambitions i didn’t previously know. giving me even more reason to respect her. her disdain for politics is with good reason. the book gave insight to her work as first lady and made me realize her health initiatives probably made more impact to today’s healthy eating world than we give her credit. 

the latter half was more condensed, squished pacing. a good build up and then a plateau. her hopefulness is not something i can embody but her continuous growth as a woman is a quality i admire.

I am a reader and I always have been. However, I decided that this would officially be my first audiobook. Mrs Obama's voice was soothing and stern. This book was raw, real and worth every minute of the 19 hours and 3 minutes it took for me to finish it

I never rush memoirs and believe in taking my time. And wow!!I have a new favourite. 10 out of 10
