Such an amazing read, despite being a memoir on the longer side I felt like I was finished it and soon as I started it 😅

Such a powerful and informative read. TW abuse, sexual harrasment, bodily harm.

This book was so good! I am growing increasingly concerned over some of the similarities between the religious extremism here and the evangelical family in which I was raised, but I really admire Westover’s perseverance. As a person who is also devoted to education, I really loved this book, despite how triggering parts of it could be.
