Wow, I’m floored. I didn’t want to stop reading. This was a harrowing and inspiring tale of a young woman who had every possible obstacle thrown her way and still was able to overcome them, all while navigating the feelings and thoughts that come with puberty and growing up. 
It was honest in a way that made you love and at the same time hate each person she wrote about. Honestly one of the best books I’ve ever read, highly recommend.

It was meh. It was really just Tara Westover telling what happened in her life. Straight through narrative. This happened and then that happened. I can’t say I was super inspired by it.
