Summary of educated

This book was enlightening about family social dynamics which are amplified in this book because the family, which is the subject of the book, is not mainstream- the story-line was such a confusing mix of love, commitment, fear, abuse, cover up and moving on.

Could have been better

After reading "Educated", I looked forward to reviewing the key points and take-aways. The narrator's accent or dialect was distracting and a couple of words were mispronounced (like the word 'iron'--probably difficult for someone whose primary language is not English). Otherwise, I found this to be a helpful summary of the book. which was excellent!

THIS IS A SUMMARY

This is NOT what I wanted. I wanted the full book, but instead wasted a credit on the summary. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
