A book with an agenda
This book attempts to make the former First Lady "one of the common people." The early part of this autobiography is readable and interesting, but the later narrative tries too hard to be down-to-earth. Really? Once one has lived in The White House, one is forever promised a life of privilege. To deny otherwise is not truthful.
But those $3400 Balenciaga boots? The narrative now seems totally false with a "let them eat cake" attitude. (She is entitled to wear those boots and can afford them, but she could have at least worn less pricey shoes and clothes for her book tour.)
The current First Lady (Mrs. Trump) is also under scrutiny for her looks, fashions and White House decor decisions. Her son also also come under media criticism.
It's part of being in the public eye and to give it credence is beneath the dignity of a First Lady.
