 This was not a “fun” read, but it was SO powerful. In this book, Chanel Miller, who is the previously unnamed “unconscious intoxicated woman” in the Stanford rape case reclaims her identity as a strong, intelligent woman and tells the story of what she went through in the years following her sexual assault. There were so many passages that resonated with me because of the eloquence of the writing and sadly because of how relatable this is for anyone who identifies as a woman in our broken society today.

Breathtaking and powerful. I wish Chanel Miller had never had to write this book, that we didn’t live in a world where stories such as hers were common. However, given that we do live in this world, I am so glad she shared her story with the grace and impact of her writing. I knew of her story and have been a fan of her art for some time before reading this book. Opening its pages felt like being led into a friend’s sitting room. I felt I was there with here and I am so grateful she let us come with her on this journey.
