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”.

A difficult and heart-wrenching book that should be mandatory reading for anybody who is not a survivor of SA. Miller’s writing is gorgeous. It is clear, frank, uncomplicated, unapologetic, and approachable. I was continually amazed by the straightforwardness and brilliance of her words.

So poignant, so powerful. This book will stay with me.

This was one of the best books I've read, like, ever. Another reviewer described the book as evoking "feminine rage," and that's the best way to put it. All of the feelings that have been stuffed inside of women practically since we're born--the sadness and anger and outrage and heartache--at the treatment of women is brought to the surface in this story. Miller's writing made me cry, made me pissed, and made me feel so connected to other women, all while sitting alone in my chair and reading her story. Truly, one of the best writer's of our generation, I'll read anything else she writes forever. Notably, a very difficult read, but a necessary one.
