My Beloved World by Sonia SotomayorMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The memoir started off slowly as she spent what I thought was an undo amount of time on her childhood. (Spoiler alert: The book ends with her confirmation in 2009, and has only one mention of President Obama, though it's not a significant interaction.) But I got into it about halfway through as I was particularly interested in how her relationship with her family and friends developed, her struggle with diabetes, her legal cases. (I'm a licensed but not practicing attorney.) I was also interested in her personal views on affirmative action, professionalism, and the costs and benefits of giving your life to your career.
