If you keep up with Oprah's Book Club — or erotice stories with audioat the very least, have been online recently — then you know Michelle Obama finally released her memoir, Becoming,on Nov. 13.

In it, the former first lady opens up in ways she never has before, revealing intimate details about marriage counseling, her miscarriage, and the reason why she'll "never forgive" Donald Trump. Obama will undoubtedly continue these candid conversations in the coming weeks, as she travels across the country for her book tour.
