This memoir offers a look behind the scenes of one of the most private First Ladies in recent history. Melania has a quiet strength and protective nature. The book could have benefited from better editing. I wonder if this was due to challenges in finding an editor she trusted. (She notes how she was let down by people she relied on, leading her to take more control over her responsibilities.) An interesting, if imperfect, memoir. ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 ❤️📚
4 Stars • I found this inside-peek to be very uplifting. Melania Trump published her memoir titled "Melania" in late 2024, which discusses her Slovenian childhood, modeling career, and life as First Lady. The book ends just after the Butler, Pennsylvania, assassination attempt on her husband, Donald Trump. The book has been both praised and criticized, with some seeing it as an inspirational account of resilience, while others view it as shallow.
