Michelle really is the most phenomenal storyteller and from the very first chapter I felt like I was there with her living her life story, especially as I was listening on audiobook with Michelle’s voice recounting the details. It was so enthralling and staggeringly honest. I'm not the only one who has loved it - Becoming has taken the title of 2018's best seller – selling over 2 million copies in the US in just two weeks.
During our interview Michelle was happy to discuss everything. From revealing what she really thinks of politics, building and sustaining a strong marriage, her struggles to get pregnant and going through IVF, the impact that politics had on her family and how her upbringing and parents shaped her life growing up

Things we should talk more about, and I completely agree with her: 1. How children should be heard, and respected as autonomous beings. 2. How making big decisions in life takes time. It's ok, at your twenties, not to not know exactly what to do with your life. 3. Marriages are tough. Are made of constant trials, ups and downs.

She speaks so openly and has no struggle at all to explain in details on the complication in lives that no one sentence could have been structured to it.

A great book by an amazing woman. She shows us that not coming from a privileged background could take her far, by doing what feels right to us. And she shows class in everything that she does. I'm so grateful she wrote the book.
