Educated: A Memoir

I'm always wary when I read a memoir about how truthful it is. A little googling suggests that there are very different versions of Westover's story. Additionally, there seems to be a lot of mental illness in this family and it's hard to know how much the author is affected by it. She does do a lot of questionable things - refuses to seek any help until very late, unable to confide in people, constantly seeking approval of others, just for a start. There are also a lot of gaps - when she gets to BYU, she attends church every week. At the end of the story, it seems like she no longer does. She complains about not having friends, not being interested in friends yet she seems to have plenty of them; ditto boyfriends.
This is a grim and depressing story. I'm not sure anyone really grows as a human being.
