I can’t imagine giving this memoir less than five stars. It is a brave and vulnerable story from a victim recounting her assault, the public legal battle that followed for years after, and her journey to healing. This story is incredibly heartbreaking and infuriating and it is hard to imagine one person carrying so much. Chanel Miller does an amazing job writing her feelings in a way that shares the reality many victims feel. The language and story is going to be uncomfortable for many- it’s filled with sorrow and anger and hope and all of the things mixed in one, but it felt so real and honest.

Chanel also did an absolutely marvelous job narrating the audiobook and it was really great to hear her words in her voice.

I learned new things when reading this story and questioned my own bias and understanding. Chanel did an amazing job of connecting her experience to the other very public cases and events. It really feels like a must read for anyone who is willing (content warnings abound!). Her story will stay with me for a long time.

Thank you, Chanel, for sharing your story and standing up for fellow survivors of sexual assault. Your words are powerful. You are powerful.

This was one of the most heart wrenching and beautifully written memoirs I’ve read. It’s a must read for everyone, especially survivors and people who know a survivor, and trust me, even if you don’t think you know one, you likely do, they just haven’t shared that part of their lives with you.

And if you are a survivor yourself, know that you are not alone. Chanel is with you. I am with you. All of us are with you.
