emotional inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

I was a bit hesitant to read this as I feel memoirs in this genre (person denied education receives education) can be a little one note. This is the book of the genre. Westover is an amazing writer both in her storytelling as well as her reflection. Must read.

Really interesting story about a girl learning about the world around her. I thought it was interesting how while she was educated in an academic way, she was also educated socially. She understood social norms and where she fit in, and made friends and other great relationships along the way.
