Educated by Tara Westover

challenging emotional reflective tense

4.0

wow!! this was a very impactful read. i have so much to think about. this gave me more empathy for folks that grow up in extreme versions of religion (among other beliefs.) it’s so easy to criticize our education system in the states (and everywhere) and while that is valid, it’s also really beautiful to see how it can give freedom to people. i love how tara wrote what she thought and felt in each moment without apologizing for it or writing asides that she is embarrassed or something for thinking such things- just great writing overall!! 

-i do think it dragged on too long but i was glad i finished it-
