bri lee's strength, defiance and honesty is so generous throughout her memoir. lee generously shares powerful, honest and raw reflections from inside the QLD justice system as a judge's associate and as a complainant of a historical sexual assault case.
deeply eye-opening, detailed and informative in giving us insight into the legal system and legal processes, lee shares her experiences as a woman in the legal profession and we become witness to the deep rooted systemic issues, procedural downfalls and prolonged inequities within this space.
then lee shares her experience as someone seeking justice, and the heavy weight of these systemic issues on those seeking justice. lee shares intimate insights into the impacts on her mental health, selfhood and life in ways that is deeply generous.
challenging, but recommended for those who live in australia to begin to grapple with the pitfalls of our justice system. throughout the book, lee reminds us that she is a white, middle class, educated woman with a strong support system. just imagine those who completely fall through the cracks of seeking justice.

This book should be in all high schools. And if its to much for "young Adults" at the very least it should be required when studying law. An insight deeper than just what textbooks can teach you.
The only negative aside from lots of tears, this book is very much all about Bri - quite self conscious and obsessed. Given the context of the book it does make sense. But I did find it quite distracting.
