Becoming

An intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir by the former First Lady of the United States. In her memoir, a work of deep reflection and mesmerizing storytelling, Michelle Obama invites readers into her world, chronicling the experiences that have shaped her—from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as an executive balancing the demands of motherhood and work, to her time spent at the world’s most famous address. With unerring honesty and lively wit, she describes her triumphs and her disappointments, both public and private, telling her full story as she has lived it—in her own words and on her own terms. Warm, wise, and revelatory, Becoming is the deeply personal reckoning of a woman of soul and substance who has steadily defied expectations—and whose story inspires us to do the same.

Her voice is so soothing and seeing where she came from and how the white house was from her perspective was really refreshing.
The book is divided into three parts. The first one is Michelle's journey from childhood to finding her first job. The second encounters her relationship with Barack and her family life. The third encounters her story as the First Lady of USA. In my opinion, the first part may not interest one as much as the second and third will. She is brutally honest about her relationships, the sacrifices, her thoughts and her work and what impact she wanted to put. It's a good motivational yet autobiographical book. Liked it.
