dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

5.0

This was one of the best books I've read, like, ever. Another reviewer described the book as evoking "feminine rage," and that's the best way to put it. All of the feelings that have been stuffed inside of women practically since we're born--the sadness and anger and outrage and heartache--at the treatment of women is brought to the surface in this story. Miller's writing made me cry, made me pissed, and made me feel so connected to other women, all while sitting alone in my chair and reading her story. Truly, one of the best writer's of our generation, I'll read anything else she writes forever. Notably, a very difficult read, but a necessary one.

This was really gripping and I cried reading this at a few points. Really informative into the legal system and the case in particular, I walked away learning something and also just reading a compelling memoir. Great read

Chanel Miller is such a great storyteller. I remember when this case broke in the news. I did not realize the incident happened just months before I myself attended college! Hearing Miller tell us her story, displaying her anger, frustration, sadness, numbness, loneliness, hopelessness really brought power to her story, especially in Emily Doe's Victim Impact Statement at the end of the book.
