I really enjoyed this book , cried a few times at the talks of Trump being president, and when Michelle lists victims of violence against black people in America. Wish she touches on her husband's wrongdoings or at least admitting he made mistakes as a president. A part of being human is making mistakes
THIS IS NOT ONLY THE STORY OF MICHELLE OBAMA, BUT THE STORY OF AMERICA

This book is the definition of mixed feelings.
I liked:
- The style; she alternated between giving a speech formal tone, and casual day-to-day tone which gave the book a relatable feel.
- Parts about empowering women, especially motherhood and the torturous path of a woman of color towards success.
- Parts about social change, especially female empowerment and diet changes.
I didn't like:
-Using the book as a platform to send political hits, even tho she mentioned continuously that she didn't believe or is not actively involved in politics.
- Making petty comments trying to defend herself against past political attacks.
- Not enough vulnerability, when needed. Don't get me wrong, I know she's a strong woman, but if we wanted to hear about achievements or moments of strengths, we would've watched the news.

Such an amazing autobiography. Inspiring reading her life story and hearing what was happening behind the scenes.
She is such a great writer. Her story is so many people’s story and her depth of wisdom and reflection are awe inspiring. She is and always be the BEST FLOTUS. I get to see her on Friday night and I am so excited.
