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.

Tara’s struggle with her family whom she both loves and despise (we all have ambivalent feelings towards our families) reminds me of Jeannette Walls memoir “The glass castle” but I would rather say Tara’s struggles are more intense and her parents are less understanding towards their children about reading books and higher education due to their eccentric religious beliefs. Not to say that one memoir is better than other, just mentioning this but I highly recommend to read this book and Jeannte Wall’s book “The glass castle” because I think almost all of us can relate because we all have ambivalent relationships with our parents and siblings.
