This is not a book you can love. I hate this book. I hate that it has to exist, that these words are true and that they resonate so deeply with so many women. I hate that it has to exist, but I’m glad that it does. I have never in my life had to put down a book that I wanted to keep reading so many times - I lost count of the times I felt a tightness in my chest, tears welling in my eyes, an ache in my heart. I took my time moving through this, absorbing every word and feeling it in my soul. Evocative and deeply moving, 5 huge and unwavering stars. This should be required reading.

If any book can reach down and spill the guts of sexual assault so viscerally, it’s this one. Chanel Miller’s use of similes, metaphors, and analogies paints a disturbing and upsetting picture of what it feels like to be a victim of sexual assault. I connected deeply to her prose and her stream of conscience narrative. Her journey to eventual redemption, self love, and acceptance is fraught with betrayal, self doubt, loss of independence, and debilitating fear. Chanel’s choice to report the assault is met with denial of culpability, a criminal justice system that is designed to victimize the victim, and a barrage of dehumanizing comments from complete strangers. At times she second guesses her choice to report the rape, but she never wavers in her desire to want the perpetrator, Brock Turner, to apologize and to understand the devastating impact his selfish act of privilege and entitlement has on her psyche. There are obvious trigger warnings about sexual assault that comes with reading this memoir, but I highly encourage anyone whether you’ve been assaulted or not to read Chanel’s powerful personal account of her struggle to find peace and acceptance from within. Her 12 page impact statement alone is so moving and heart wrenching that only apathetic individuals will not find themselves moved beyond tears. As Chanel so aptly says 

                         “I give what I can, you take what you need.”

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.
