Know My Name by Chanel Miller

bibliorama's review against another edition

challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

Again another story that is hard for me to give a star rating to because this story is beyond star pixels on a screen. It's a lot of truth to the emotions that survivors of sexual violence feel, and I can only hope that this book was a therapeutic experience for Chanel.

One of the many things I gathered from this book is that Chanel is a powerful writer and also a very normal human. Which just goes to show that sexual assault can happen to anyone and victims shouldn't be put into stereotypes that are used against them. I recommend this read for everyone. It will affirm your feelings whether they're anger, sorrow, hopefulness, or happiness. I think this book is a good read for someone at any stage of processing trauma.

I recommend the audiobook as Chanel is the narrator.

Powerful, moving, heartbreaking, affirming. Chanel speaks to the deepest part of myself and says, “It’s okay. You are enough.”
