I really enjoyed this book, it was amazing how she was able to tie science and growing up experienc together. It made it easier for me to see things differently and I could also relate to her personally.

I was so excited for this book and it was on my book list as well. I struggled to get hooked on it from the beginning, I tried to read more and give a chance but..it just kept dragging, sometimes boring and I didn't enjoy as I wanted to.

๐ซ๐This book was reflective and informative..I learnt a lot about Obama's family and presidency. I could sympathise and understand Michelle's feelings towards politics and the transition into a new life.
I started to read the book beginning all in one go..terrible idea. If your wanting to read this book, make sure you read it slowly..it is a thick book.

๐ซ๐ I loved the plot of the book, I could relate to the main female lead sometimes and enjoyed the witty moments. However I wished there was more build up for chemistry and sometimes I lost interest.

๐ซI loved the chemistry between the main leads, especially intimate scenes and banter.
๐ซI enjoyed reading back the main leads backgrounds especially female lead; it really helped see why she made certain choices or mindset.
๐I did get annoyed at female leads short temper and sometimes I did lose minor intrest.

๐ซI really enjoyed reading this book, seeing the character development, the chemistry between both leads especially through intimate scenes..the focus on parent-child relationship, eating issues, toxic friendships.
๐However, the last few chapters didn't have me hooked as the beginning did..I expected more especially certain subjects like the friendship storyline.
