A review by itsjustkatereading
Educated by Tara Westover

dark emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

People saying ‘it read like fiction’ when talking about non fiction is usually a slight pet peeve of mine but, as much as I hate to say it, reading Educated felt like reading a work of fiction.  Not only was it accessible and easy to read, it was also incredibly enthralling and difficult to put down. I think Tara did such a beautiful job of telling her story. This was a dark, emotional, heavy, painful and utterly fascinating read and one I’d highly recommend.
