There isn't much that I can add to what previous reviews have already said. This is a monumental book, raw and heart-wrenching, so masterfully written. I was moved to tears and moved to absolute rage at the pain inflicted, the injustice, the added abuse caused by the judicial system.

I'm so grateful that Chanel Miller was able to make her voice heard and share her truth. I hope that her words can reach anyone in need of strength, validation and understanding.

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.
