Educated by Tara Westover

Thank you to Penguin Random House, NetGalley, and the author for the review copy of this book. All opinions in this review are my own.

I expected Educated to be a memoir about how Tara used education to break away from her father’s beliefs. While education is the opportunity for Tara to escape, this is more of a memoir about abuse. This book was eye-opening. I am amazed by what Tara was able to accomplish, but there were times I had to put it down and come back to it later because of the content. I think Educated is worth reading, but a reader should be prepared for the content within this book.
