The first memior I actually got to the end of. I'm much more of a fast paced book reader but something about Tara's story makes you want to keep going.

I was a bit hesitant to read this as I feel memoirs in this genre (person denied education receives education) can be a little one note. This is the book of the genre. Westover is an amazing writer both in her storytelling as well as her reflection. Must read.
