Here is my favorite line from the book:
“in court they’ll try to make you believe you are unlike the others, you are different, an exception. you are dirtier, more stupid, more promiscuous. but it’s a trick. the assault is never personal, the blaming is.”

That right there is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

miller is an absolutely incredible writer. so so gifted and her story is so important to hear

This is more than a memoir - it is a love letter to anyone who has ever been victimized, discarded, and neglected.

"We will not stand by as our mouths are covered; bodies entered. We will speak, we will speak, we will speak..." 

Bravo to Chanel Miller. She is an eloquent writer, and I hope to read more by her in the future.

A beautiful piece of feminist writing. Chanel is a beautiful writer and speaker, but her story feels intimate and familiar. She speaks profoundly about experiences that so many women share, overcoming the trauma of sexual assault in a society where sexual assault, harassment and rape are commonplace and perpetrators are rarely punished.
