Very well written. Hard to read at some parts due to the abuse. I would recommend going into this book without prior knowledge.

I knew that she eventually left, which I feel ruined the anticipation. I did find it shocking that she wasn’t the first in her family to leave. Definitely changed the story, as it shaped her experience.

Omg. This story... This person. It's been a long time since I've repeatedly yelled at the sky while experiencing an audiobook. 

In Educated, Westover has given an incredible, inspiring, and heartbreakingly traumatic story of her life. I know it will stay with me for the rest of mine.
