A review by sadietay
Educated by Tara Westover
5.0
One of the best memoirs I’ve ever read. Tara tells her story incredibly well and shares it in a way that can relate to anyone.
As a happy and committed member of the church that Tara was raised (abusively) in, I was nervous this would bash my beliefs or make light of the truth I hold close. I should not have been nervous...she makes it very clear that her experiences weren’t because of the church but because of her father. With that said, people with abuse in their childhood should be aware that the abuse Tara experiences creeps in and she is gas lit.
