It reminded me of glass castle in some ways. The triumph and resilience was neat to read about.

An interesting memoir! I feel compassion for Tara Westover and I'm also incredibly happy for her. I hope she's living a fun relaxing life now. I definitely don't know because I haven't looked it up and I don't know if I ever will. This glimpse into her life and where she was at by the end feels like enough.

Tough listen but such an important topic. First party character, driven telling the story of a woman, slowly realizing what her life means.

Philosophy meets memoir meets coming of age. I really loved this one, although some parts were difficult for me to understand and could have used more description. It was somehow both cerebral and tangible at the same time. There are many things to be aware of in terms of content.
