I was originally going to rate this book somewhere along a 2-3 star because I typically like rating based on how a book makes me feel and not at all on the actual quality of the book. Well, this book made me feel miserable at times. It made me feel angry and irrational, but I’ve realized that that isn’t at all a negative of this book.
Nay, I’d say that Westover’s ability to make a reader feel such potent emotions when reading about her life is a huge advantage to reading this.
No matter which way you view this, Education is an outstanding memoir that leaves you anticipating the next events like a TV show.

Adichie has publicly stated that JK Rowling’s “essays” (better described as temper tantrums) about gender are “perfectly reasonable.” Therefore, I believe it’s also perfectly reasonable for me to rate her TERF garbage 1 star. And before I get a comment saying “So you’re rating this without reading it?” Yes, I did read it. Piss off.
