This was a great memoir. I was feeling so many things throughout the entirety of this book. I think everyone in the world should read it, not only because it is a great story, but because we can raise awareness on a topic that should be more widely talked about. I was full of rage for Chanel throughout this book, but only because of the great injustice that she faced. I think this book could be a great learning opportunity for everyone that doesn’t have experience or doesn’t know anyone who has had an experience like her.

This was an amazing book that gave a honest depiction of the trauma and emotions that can come with a trauma like this. It also made me really angry the way that the legal system treated him like the victim and that he was the real one that was hurt. But I think that this was important story for Chanel to tell so that we can hear about this from her perspective and the one that was harmed most even if people won’t say that way because he had so much “potential”.

I still don't read enough non-fiction to properly review it. All I can say is that this was an incredibly compelling read. I loved Chanel Miller's writing. I think she was really good at conveying her emotions and really pulling you in. If you can handle the subject matter I do truly think this is required reading.
