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.

One of the best books regarding the struggle between loving your family and growing as the person who you chose to be. You want to do both but not all parents and siblings support your decision to be the person you chose to be

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.

I loved this book and the way Tara wrote it. Sometimes things got ~very~ descriptive which was impressive but also made my skin crawl sometimes.
