Educated by Tara Westover

challenging dark emotional sad medium-paced

4.0

Woof this was a tough one to get through, and not because of the writing. Tara Westover’s experience growing up in rural Idaho cut off from most of the world, raised in a physically and mentally abusive Mormon family was bone chilling. I became so frustrated at times reading this, the constant abuse from her brother, the neglect and supposed holy actions and thoughts from her parents, and how that deeply effected her into her latter education and adulthood. Made me feel a lot of things, and at times was scarier than any horror novel I’ve read. She deserves everything she wants.
