Educated
by Tara Westover
Readability: 5/5
Plot: 3/5
Recommend: Yes
[a: Tara Westover|16121977|Tara Westover|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1506103019p2/16121977.jpg]'s family is not traditional. They don't go to school, they don't go to hospitals, and most of her siblings never had a birth certificate until they turned nine. [b: Educated|35133922|Educated|Tara Westover|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1506026635l/35133922._SY75_.jpg|53814228] is the gradual progression of how a woman came to leave her home and reveal to herself the true nature of her family.
On more than one occasion, I became angry at the fact that so many people allowed fo the toxic behavior that occurred to, and around Tara. Every single person in this memoir is so incredibly flawed that they feed into each other's toxicity.
On another note though, this was a great memoir. It was captivating and inspiring to see how Tara left and made something of herself.
I rated a three on the plot because it isn't a story in a traditional sense, more of an overview of major events and actions.
This isn't a five star book, primarily because I read to feel good and this definitely did not make me feel good, but also because I know this won't be a book I obsess over like my other five star reads.
It's always hard to rate memoirs, especially when I tend to read fiction, where it doesn't feel like I'm criticizing a person and their life, just their imagination.
