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

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.

emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad tense slow-paced

Two words to describe it: Holy. Shit.
Holy shit it was so fucking good.

I can't believe to explain how well the author captured her experience.
When she was happy, so was I; when she was weeping, I was tearing up. The author's prose and writing style gave me chills all around. Every sentence is packed with so much meaning and emotions that it feels how this book was written with so much love, passion and hard work. 

Listening it as an audiobook kinda improved that experience since it is read by the author herself. Chanel gives it a new layer of raw  emotion that could not have been delivered otherwise.

A story of resilience
