Hello 👋 Yesterday I finished Secret Lives of the First Ladies from @quirkbooks and I loved it! I learned a lot about them including the fact that many of them had pretty sad lives.

pick

I loved this book! I love history, especially when it comes to topics that are not talked about much. So naturally, this book was right up on my alley.

Hardly anyone ever talks about the First Ladies (especially the earlier ones) so it was really insightful to learn more about them. They deserve more recognition than they get.

Overall, if you want a fun little history lesson on the First Ladies, then look no further, this book is for you!

so-so

Lots of great stories and anecdotes. However, I feel that they spent more time focusing on the first ladies' relationships with their husbands than on the secret lives of the First Ladies as the book advertises. I wasn't totally let down but not overly impressed either. Just okay in my eyes.
