challenging dark emotional hopeful inspiring sad tense fast-paced

This book is truly phenomenal. It speaks to the fears of every woman and tells her she is not defined by them. It says our names and who we are is important. It also calls out systemic failure in systems we are taught to trust, saying excuses are not enough. Truth is truth, even when noone cam see it. I hope this book was healing for Chanel and she is able to continue to be a force to be reckoned with for future generations to remember.

This is my favorite memoir to date. Chanel’s writing style is just so impeccable and I often felt like I was there with her throughout the Court process. I loved how this memoir highlighted how the court system fails survivors of assault and how healing is a nonlinear process. Truly amazing
