This is not a book you can love. I hate this book. I hate that it has to exist, that these words are true and that they resonate so deeply with so many women. I hate that it has to exist, but I’m glad that it does. I have never in my life had to put down a book that I wanted to keep reading so many times - I lost count of the times I felt a tightness in my chest, tears welling in my eyes, an ache in my heart. I took my time moving through this, absorbing every word and feeling it in my soul. Evocative and deeply moving, 5 huge and unwavering stars. This should be required reading.

This is a long book. I got through the verdict and sentencing and it seemed like she was talking about how she came to write the book. Didn’t keep me interested. Sorry, that’s harsh.

This book is inspiring, heart-wrenching and heartwarming, enlightening, strong, emotional, and NECESSARY. This book should be mandatory in schools/ universities. I can not begin to understand what Chanel went through, but there were many parts I identified as a woman. By telling going through what she did, letting her statement get published (how I “discovered” her), and then publishing this book, she has been a lighthouse to many people around the world—myself included. Thank you Chanel. I know your name.
