Michelle Obama Give Me A Hug And Tell Me Everything Is Going To Be Okay 2k19.
One of my greatest wishes is for the entirety of my thought process to be narrated - if not controlled - by Michelle Obama.
But apparently that isn’t “a thing that can happen,� and “even if it was it’d be creepy and in many ways morally wrong,� and “seriously Emma how do these ideas even occur to you, it’s worrying, stop.�
So I did the next best thing and listened to this audiobook.
18 HOURS OF MICHELLE OBAMA’S VOICE!!
I don’t even LIKE audiobooks (shockingly - I like books and I like podcasts so I’m not sure what’s holding me back), and still I’m aware that the fact of the matter here is this:
If you read this instead of listening to the audiobook, you’re getting played.
Because the only thing better than reading 426 pages of Michelle Obama writing about herself is listening to 18 hours of her talking about herself.
A complete dream.
Bottom line: I could rant about my love for Michelle Obama for 426 pages, but that would be weird. (If this weren’t weird enough already.)
------------
starting a petition for michelle obama to give me a hug
review to come / 4.5 stars
------------
i want michelle obama to be in charge of everything, including my entire life.
however that appears to not be """possible""" so i'm going to listen to her talk for 18 hours instead

A MO hug would be the best.
I also need her to be in control of my life. I need to stop being a mess
I love this Emma, lol. 😂😂 I take it this is worth buying on audio then, yeah? 😍

My husband and I listened during long road trips and it kept us awake and captivated. Now I want to meet her.

I so get that, not liking audiobooks, while looving books and podcasts... but then there are gems that make you change your mind, or books I can only bear if they're audiobooks (Abbi Jacobson's book for example)
Listening to her was amazing and honestly the thing I needed at the time that I listened to it! She gave me a lot of hope in those 18 hours and then I was brought to reality when it ended :(

Same girl, same.And I'll give a hug! I'm thinking with all of us who love her, it's like a Michelle Obama-adjacent hug, right? Right!(((Hugs)))
virtual hugs for all who love her and wished we had taken longer with this book!
She is amazing - so is this book - as is your review! :)
