Jim's Review
🐛
Most of this book is jaw-on-the-ground stuff. Tara's story is so wild it reads like fiction, but it's painfully real. The transformation from a girl who'd never seen a classroom to a Cambridge PhD is nothing short of extraordinary. It'll make you grateful for every book you've ever held. A must-read memoir.
