challenging dark informative inspiring sad tense medium-paced

5.0

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.

4.5

Intense and enlightening. Some parts were so intense that I struggled to even comprehend that they were real and forgot I was reading a memoir. The depiction of imposter syndrome when she first got to uni, and the act of trying to cling onto a family dynamic she’d completely imagined, was just so good.

I did falter a bit with the pacing around halfway through (I think there was a bit of a crossroad where a lot more people were introduced at once), but cannot fault anything else.
