it was amazing
bookshelves: non-fiction, go-to-recs

Everything about this book amazed me. I will not stop thinking about this book for a very, very long time. I don't think I can even do this proper justice in a review other than telling everyone to go out and READ THIS BOOK! Easiest 5 stars ever. Loved it.

Louisa Hey Max, I know this is an older update of yours but could you recommend a book similar to educated?


Sarah @Louisa I'm currently reading Daughter of Gloriavale which is about a girl who grew up in a cult in NZ. It's way better than Educated in my opinion, I'm really enjoying it!


Claudia Maxwell, this is how I felt about Educated, too. I may read it again as time goes by.


Claudia @Sarah, thanks for the recommendation. I'll check it out.


Sihle @Louisa I’ve just read a great memoir similar to Educated called Life’s Not Yoga by Jacqui Burnett! It’s so amazing and a powerful book!


Sihle Great review @Maxwell totally agree.


Jenni Jenni  WCITT Thank you for keeping it short and sweet.
