Let’s break this down:

It really is incredibly well written. Several passages brought me to tears, both sadness and joy. The recounting of Election Day 2008 was just masterful storytelling.

I get that she probably had a million people helping with editing, but damn me if she doesn’t have a wonderful way of saying exactly what I’ve felt at a given point in time.
