✨REVIEW✨

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Becoming is the first autobiography I’ve ever read so I was nervous about the pacing. I listened to the Dutch audiobook and let me tell you, once I started, I COULD NOT STOP.

The books reflects on her childhood on the South Side of Chicago, her life at Princeton and Harvard Law School, her career as a lawyer, the loss of her father, what it was like meeting and dating Barack, motherhood and the struggle with being the First Lady.
You get to follow her through all stages of her life and see how this shaped her into the intelligent, strong and inspiring woman we know today.

This memoir has truly left me speechless and all I can do now is encourage you to read it yourself and fall in love with it like I did.
