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.

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."

thayerbowen's review against another edition

This is a long book. I got through the verdict and sentencing and it seemed like she was talking about how she came to write the book. Didn’t keep me interested. Sorry, that’s harsh.
