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.

Devastating, fascinating, heartbreaking. This story is one of perseverance and the search for understanding of family and one’s self. 
This is a hard read and could definitely be triggering for some.
