Review of 'Educated' on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
Stunningly beautiful memoir about growing up in a survivalist family in Idaho, about growing up and no longer feeling like you belong. The pacing her is letter perfect, each chapter containing its own magic and yet adding to the story itself. The kind of book you can't wait to get back to and finis by saying, out loud, to anybody, "I'm so glad I read that."
