Very much enjoyed this book. It shed light on another side of Michelle and Barack. I'm a big Obama fan and it's nice to see what they went through during the campaigns and how hard it was to decide if Barack should run or not. She is a strong person and a great role model for women and girls. I have enjoyed seeing a loving family in the White House who are more like normal America than in previous years.
