A review by nerdybirdy101
Educated by Tara Westover

3.0

This read was a bit disappointing because I was anticipating something else. I thought that this book was going to discuss the topic of education and make some great messages about the system as a whole. Instead, it was the author’s experience of not receiving an education as a child and fighting and struggling to attend college. It was interesting reading the author’s experience, but I felt like this memoir was more of a personal journey and the title was misleading. I do hope that the author is receiving therapy for the abuse they suffered growing up. For content warnings, there is child abuse, sibling abuse, and more but the abuse her family gave her when she was a child is the content warning that overly present. 
I gave this book 3 stars because it was interesting reading about the author’s experience and it was well-written, I just think it was mistitled and marketed. It should have focused more on how she modified her religious beliefs to her own.
