This book is one of the most important books I have ever read. Chanel recounts one of the most harrowing moments of her life and the butterfly effect it had on her and all those around her. The justice system is not built to protect, advocate, or support victims of sexual violence and that is incredibly apparent throughout reading this book. It is a hard and emotional read but one that is nevertheless necessary.

Incredibly written, powerful exploration of the author's experiences of being sexually assaulted - showing clearly the devastating, deep-rooting and long-lasting issues of not just the assault itself but also the prolonged police investigation, court case and media attention, on not just her but her family and friends as well. This book will make you devastatingly upset for the author and those who know her, make you furious and outraged at men (and one man in particular) and the privileges and systems that protect them and discredit victims, yet also make you hopeful - the author shows how, although the assault has absolutely changed her and impacted her to her core, she is not defined by it and has reclaimed herself - mind and body - from these experiences. 

An absolute must-read for every single person, but a very very difficult one - you will cry, a lot. Make sure you're looking after yourself too while reading this
