There are many devastatingly beautiful poems within this book. Definitely something I will be thinking about for days.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 26%.
The concept intrigued me to begin with but the actual writing of it didn't manage to hold my attention. I kept waiting for more action, only to be disappointed.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 6%.
I think the plot is good but the layout of the chapters is so distracting. I've tried to restart this book 3 times but the layout always stops me

Michelle Obama is someone that has always inspired me. She is such a strong and amazing woman. It was interesting to read about how Barack's presidency effected Michelle, their kids and their marriage. 

I think the book is evidence to support just how strong that entire family is.

It was a good book, that highlighted domestic violence and the experience of going through it. However, the writing style wasn't all that great.
