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.

UGH.  This book was way too long and boring.  I actually believe her story, but this book is very tedious and repetitive.  And before I decided to listen to this audiobook, I wish I would've noticed that the author doesn't narrate it.  I am used to listening to memoirs with the author's voice, which makes the story more emotional.  This audiobook felt so stiff and void of emotion.
