Educated: a Memoir by Tara Westover
Did we really need another GLASS CASTLE so soon?
It kept me reading – you can’t help but root for her. But it got so repetitive. How many times can we mentally scream, “NO, TARA, NO!” No, do NOT go get another ice cream with the guy who broke your toe and habitually shoves your head in the toilet! This will not end well! How many times can we think, “OK, now she’s starting to get it, finally!” and then read “So I went home for Christmas.” You WHAT?! “STOP GOING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS, TARA!!”
Best takeway came on the penultimate page: “Guilt is never about THEM. Guilt is the fear of one’s own wretchedness.”
