Incredibly written, powerful exploration of the author's experiences of being sexually assaulted - showing clearly the devastating, deep-rooting and long-lasting issues of not just the assault itself but also the prolonged police investigation, court case and media attention, on not just her but her family and friends as well. This book will make you devastatingly upset for the author and those who know her, make you furious and outraged at men (and one man in particular) and the privileges and systems that protect them and discredit victims, yet also make you hopeful - the author shows how, although the assault has absolutely changed her and impacted her to her core, she is not defined by it and has reclaimed herself - mind and body - from these experiences. 

An absolute must-read for every single person, but a very very difficult one - you will cry, a lot. Make sure you're looking after yourself too while reading this

This is possibly the best book I have ever read. I started this book without truly knowing what it was about, and I finished it in tears, feeling inspired. This book is painful, beautiful, heavy, and encouraging, and everyone should read this. The small moments of hope in the Swedes who saved Chanel, the doorwomen of her apartment, the old man on the bench, Alaleh, Tiffany, Lucas, and Chanel's own voice reading the audiobook were a comforting hug in a book riddled with trauma. I will never stop recommending this book to anyone I ever meet.

Favorite Quote: "It is not a question of if you will survive this, but what beautiful things await you when you do."
