Firstly, I don’t think there’s anything earth-shattering in this book BUT I don’t think I’ve felt this seen in a book in a while. Her musings on being the “only” in many spaces and feelings of doubt throughout her life are relatable and validating.

Classic uplifting memoir, nice references to becoming.

This had similar treads to Becoming, but was also distinctly its own. The angle of this book is very conversational and engaging. At times it felt a bit repetitive at times. I appreciated the overall topics, but found the specifics to be verging on pushy at times. It had a significant self help feel, which works for some and not for others. For me, I took some and left some, where it didn't speak to me. Audiobook is the way to go.

It’s fine but I feel like everything she talked about was said in the first book. Kinda felt like a repackaged thing

I will continue to read/ listen to books by Michelle Obama as long she keeps making them. They are always filled with relatable stories and experiences, providing lessons and validations that are needed
