It is not a book that everyone will be able to read. It is a story of trauma. Chanel does not hold anything back. But those of us who can read it, will be changed and amazed by it.
This is often a harrowing, raw read, but at the same time, I was astonished by the clarity and beauty of Chanel’s writing. You put down this book feeling that you have seen her completely, all that she is - her creativity, her quirkiness, her old soul, her sense of humour, her fragility, her brokenness, her strength, her fury, her hope.
It is riveting and often heartbreaking, and incredibly, I finished this book feeling buoyed up by how remarkable some humans can be.

⁕ Miller’s prose combined with her relentless commitment to detail and the truth of her experience made this a beautiful, gripping, and heart-wrenching read. It’s a hard book to put down, but I recommend reading in smaller chunks so that the gravity of her words has time to sink in.
⁕ I learned A LOT about the mechanisms and failings of the legal system when it comes to survivors of assault. If you have ever found yourself wondering “why don’t survivors just report to the police,” I HIGHLY encourage you to read this.
⁕ I don’t share all of her experiences but, as a woman, her willingness to share her story means so much to me. There were so many moments when reading where my fears and anger felt seen and validated.
