Jinger Duggar is finding a voice of her own as she steps away from the conservative ideology of her family by promoting former first lady, Michelle Obama's memoir. Jinger took to her social media to promote audible audiobooks and was letting people know some of the books that would make a good read. 

Among them was Obama's 'Becoming' that Jinger thought should be read or heard by many. She also posted a screenshot of the audiobook and left the fans surprised by revealing she was currently listening to it right now. This surprised many because the Duggar family is otherwise known for their conservative and republican view. 

Her father, Jim Bob even served as a republican member of the House of Representatives. While it looks like Jinger truly believes everyone should listen to the book, many were quick to add that this might be a step taken by her to gain sponsorship. In the past, Jinger has lost a lot of sponsorship for the conservative views her family has, as reported by The Sun

“I think she’s just posting this book in particular so she looks more relatable, cause she doesn’t want to lose another sponsorship," read one comment. Another added, "I  don’t believe she’s reading it. She just wants to make herself seem not hateful. Cue to future sponsorships."

Meanwhile, others hoped that she was reading the book. "I do hope Jinger is reading it, and I hope she has an open mind and learns a few things," read one comment. Some thought that Jinger chose the perfect book to read as the comment read, "It’s a great book, especially when read by Michelle Obama herself. I hope she does listen to the whole thing and realize there are amazing people on the other side of the political spectrum trying to do good things."

Another wrote, "I hope she is listening to this. It could open her eyes to a lot and if she takes it to heart it really might help her mature. Having a role model like Michelle Obama could change her life and encourage her to climb out of the situation she was born into. It would take hard work but I feel like she could do it if she found the right support system."
