I will forever and always give five stars to anyone who is this brave and has the courage to tell their story. It's not my job, as a reader, to judge her book. This isn't just a book. It's her life. What these women went through was pure hell. They're incredible strong for making it out. To those with a story that hasn't spoken about it, you're incredible strong and brave.

The writing itself isn't great, but the story is compelling. Such a horrible experience for her.

Hard book to read especially since it is true. May be upsetting to some.

This was such a good quick read! That being said, this was certainly a heavy read! Very heavy! I remember watching the news footage the day these women were found in the house and being shocked! So to read a first hand account was very enjoyable and interesting. Even though I wouldn't classify this book as being super well written, I can still appreciate hearing the story from Michelle Knight's own words. As I said before, it was an easy read based off the fact it wasn't super well done prose.
