5.0

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.

A beautiful piece of feminist writing. Chanel is a beautiful writer and speaker, but her story feels intimate and familiar. She speaks profoundly about experiences that so many women share, overcoming the trauma of sexual assault in a society where sexual assault, harassment and rape are commonplace and perpetrators are rarely punished.

This was really gripping and I cried reading this at a few points. Really informative into the legal system and the case in particular, I walked away learning something and also just reading a compelling memoir. Great read
