A review by jenwestpfahl
Educated by Tara Westover

4.5

It was hard to put down this memoir about becoming your own person in a family and culture set against any individualism or freedom to think for yourself. The author overcomes abuse, stifling expectations and lack of education to earn a PhD. I do sort of wish she had gone on to do something with her education before writing a memoir. I’ll be interested to see where life takes her.
