A review by zoeythekat
Becoming by Michelle Obama

4.0

This book is brilliant and beautiful and I would give it an unquestioned 5 stars if there hadn't been portions that felt fatphobic. I think that the work Michelle Obama did to provide nutritious meals to school children, expand the White House gardens, and offer opportunities for activity are all awesome, and I don't fault her for her rhetoric at the time. I do wish, though, that by the time she got around to writing and publishing Becoming she had updated her rhetoric to be size accepting.
