This is probably the best memoir I've ever read. I'd seen almost universally positive reviews but Chanel Miller's writing still blew me away with how beautiful it was. I rarely highlight books but I couldn't resist it here because her observations and descriptions were gorgeous. I particularly loved how she often included little details of her daily life which really grounded her story and drew me in.
Miller writes about her experience with such grace and strength, as well as the rage you'd expect. It's such an important book and it made me absolutely furious at the justice system. I remember reading Miller's victim impact statement when it was released and her book has the same power. I'd put off reading it because I knew it would be challenging but I'm so glad I did finally pick it up. She doesn't shy away from the realities of dealing with trauma and depression but it's also hopeful and much funnier than I was expecting. I've been following her on Instagram for a long time and really enjoy her illustrations and am so looking forward to seeing what she does next.
