Educated by Tara Westover is a gripping, emotional rollercoaster that changed my life, just a little bit. Her ability to retell events that completely changed her personality and life completely took me. I would read it for hours when I was supposed to go to bed. I would read it when I could have played on my phone. I would read it when I had any moment of free time where I could get ahold of it. If it was within my reach, I was reading it.
Although extremely upsetting at times, Westover’s writing ability outweighed it all. I would cry, laugh, and feel, although just a fraction of it, what Westover was feeling.
Educated is an upsetting, striking, emotional experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nonfiction novel to sink your teeth into.
