Educated by Tara Westover
5.0
The basic idea behind Educated is similar to quite a few memoirs—a family that lives off the grid faces hardships and their morals are tested as the family falls apart.
Except Tara Westover’s sheer dedication and intelligence makes this memoir stand out amongst others. Perhaps it’s because I’m a total school nerd this book resonated with me. But regardless, Westover has an obvious talent for writing. Like all memoirs, the narrator’s reliability is reasonably questionable, but still, Westover’s ability to tell a story is fantastic.
Educated will make you realize why years and years of seemingly endless education is worth our time and hard work.
