I don’t know if I could ever give one one of Michelle’s books less than 5 stars. I listened to the audiobook version and I genuinely think I would listen to anything that she narrates, she does an amazing job.

If you love Michelle Obama you will love this book. If you don’t love Michelle Obama, yo absolutely will after reading this book. The amount of poise and kindness she shows again and again is astounding.
