This was an incredible book. Honestly, I expected basically a retelling of the trial from her perspective. But this book was so much more. It was a memoir, a recounting, an exploration into the ways the justice system fails victims, it was beautiful, inspiring, challenging, heart wrenching. It explored the many facets of living in a patriarchal society through the lens of Chanel’s experience, in and beyond the assault. I would recommend it to everyone. It was so beautiful to hear in the author’s voice, in her words, through her eyes.
