Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose by Joe Biden

4.0

✨More like a 3.5/5 but rounding to a 4

✨was expecting and wanted more introspection. the sections about the Biden family unit were the strongest. learning about what he was doing in his final years as VP tended to be interesting, but mostly outdated in 2024 as a lot of the countries and relationships he talked about were ruined between the years 2016-2020 and even throughout the 2020s into today. the world changes so fast.

✨like I said, the Biden-centric chapters/sections were the best. I think there’s a lot of tragedy surrounding the Biden family from early on that still continues to this day. It was so interesting to learn about their family traditions and the dynamics in the family. Hunter and Beau seemed to be thick as thieves and reading Hunter’s words that were spoken at Beau’s funeral broke me fr. I had to stop reading the book in the office and pick it back up when I got him.
