Obama recently shared on Instagram how “excited” she is for the upcoming release, building on her 24-chapter memoir from 2018, which chronicles her upbringing in Chicago, her career as an attorney and follows her into motherhood and eventually her time in the White House with husband and former President Barack Obama. Notably, it sold more than 725,000 copies in North America upon release and overall sold 10 million copies worldwide, according to the Associated Press.
In the same social media post, Obama teased another March 2 launch: “Becoming” will finally be available as a paperback — right now, you can get it in hardcover, audiobook and Kindle formats. The new paperback version boasts a new introduction, too — a letter Obama wrote to her younger self — as well as a book club guide featuring 20 discussion questions, plus a Q&A with Obama.
