Really interesting story about a girl learning about the world around her. I thought it was interesting how while she was educated in an academic way, she was also educated socially. She understood social norms and where she fit in, and made friends and other great relationships along the way.

I wish I had known how much violence is described in this book. many people recommended it, but I had no idea what I was getting myself into. So this as a first off - there is in-detail description of physical and mental abuse, of accidents, injuries and the like.
That said: I do think it was great to read the Story of Tara Westovers life, to get an insight into Mormon culture (not to say that I believe Mormon culture is what it is in this family) and how she managed to get out of an abusive and neglecting family and managed to get herself formal education. Still, to me it was incredibly painful to read this (side note: not in a good mental place atm, which has influenced my perception), at points I really had to stop. And all the descriptions of violence and abuse were much more present to me than the parts about how she got out of there...I don't know. I don't think I would want to read it again.

Wow was this interesting. It’s honestly scary that there are people like this out there. I feel so bad for everyone involved because they all need some type of help. I would highly recommend this. I do have to say it wasn’t what I was expecting. All the reviews I heard didn’t say anything about the physical and emotional abuse so I was a little shocked.
