Just finished Educated- Great memoir and super interesting story. Is there creative liberty allowed with these books? there no chance that people who write memoirs actually remember conversations from 20-30 years ago

my greatest most narcissistic fear is that someday i may be famous and when i have to write my memoir i gotta deal with the fact that i just straight up don’t remember huge chunks of my life

Well, she did say at times that she consorted with siblings and such to try and set the record straight. I remember several asterisks throughout the book where she said that her memory doesn’t match up against some of her siblings memories. Also there are sections where she said that the quotes conversation isn’t exact but that it captures the essence of what was said. But yeah, I’m thinking some gaps probably had to have been filled in with estimations on what happened.
