What Members Thought
It's been a while since I read a book so quickly! I absolutely loved reading the story of Obamas from Michelle's perspective. Her story of how she took a loosely defined role with close to zero expectations and converted it into a force to reckon with, challenging patriarchal assumptions of what was possible is something every ambitious, goal-oriented person, particularly woman and young adults can relate to and get inspiration from.

She's definitely a bit reserved and professional and not overly candid but I feel like that just shows she's an intelligent human being with good boundaries! I thought she did an absolutely great job of explaining racial concerns and experiences in a way that would educate people white without turning them off, and was just generally super inspiring. If you are not a Trump fan and need a pep talk and some hope during the Trump era, this is it!!!
