Damn dude, this book is a horror story.
I don't want to take away from Westover's accomplishments in life, but I do just want to see that it seems like there was a WILD amount of luck for these very unlucky people - like somehow all her schooling seemed to just work out, none of them died from these horrible injuries that were treated with like, rosemary oil or whatever - if this was fiction, it wouldn't be believable.
The book definitely had me on the edge of my seat the whole time, and the thing I find most fascinating is that she never completely writes off her family and seems to think reconciliation is possible - what must it feel like to be that optimistic of a person?
