Absolutely amazing and breathtaking novel! The book gave me insight into my own family life and education. It let me see that every family has flaws and power of own body autonomy/choice. Great book!

I flew through this memoir with a speed that surprised me. I've never read something like this, that so accurately and painfully described human emotion and experience. I didn't expect that I would like it at all, let alone finish it but this book blew me out of the water. That's what I'd call an "Education"

Wow. This Book was everything. An accidental read, just picked up because I was bored and it seemed interesting. I am now more interested to see if I can find Dr.Westover’s PHD about the family and it’s religion and social effects.
