A review by elderwoodreads
Uncultured by Daniella Mestyanek Young

emotional informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

I feel like I say this about every memoir I read (and finish) but quite possibly one of the most impactful books I've read. Mestyanek Young has full control over her story and expertly weaves it with commentary from her current insights. The epilogue was beautiful and I'll be thinking about it for a long time.
