Educated by Tara Westover
5.0

this is a memoir. which is insane. all of this is a person's life story, not fiction.

if it was fiction, I still would've given it 5 stars because of the writing and the way it sucked me in and made me feel so strongly. but this was real life for the author, and I'm sure for many people it still is their life.

I feel parasocially proud of the author, for having made it this far despite her past and her family. I know the main focus was on her parents and how they impacted her life, but I can't help but feel the strongest about her brother, Shawn. In a bad way. Holy shit, man.

a rough read, but worth your time.
