challenging dark emotional hopeful reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.75

One of the finest memoirs I’ve ever read. Wholly insightful and brutally honest.

Westover’s writing is so visceral. She describes each memory with vivid detail. It is impressive and intentionally uncomfortable.

This story was so compelling and very moving.

Omg. This story... This person. It's been a long time since I've repeatedly yelled at the sky while experiencing an audiobook. 

In Educated, Westover has given an incredible, inspiring, and heartbreakingly traumatic story of her life. I know it will stay with me for the rest of mine.
