This was such an emotional read. Thank you Chanel Miller for sharing your story and reclaiming Emily Doe. The victim impact statement was just as moving the second time reading it.

Imposible parar de leerlo. Lloré muchas veces, de pena, de emoción, de alegría. Recomendadísimo, pero cuidado que puede ser muy fuerte para algunas personas.

This is one of the best memoirs I have ever read. Chanel's voice is clear and unique, and despite the topic, this was a joy to read. 
Before I started the book, I mentally braced myself because of the subject but I am surprised to say that I found it much more empowering than upsetting. When I felt negative emotions, it was mostly anger at the injustices the author had to face. As a woman in a patriarchal society, the threat of sexual assault is always held over you, even if you've never actually been assaulted. And while many of us have probably imagined scenarios in which assault happens, I don't think a lot of us know what comes after, when (if) it is reported, when (if) it goes to trial. That is why reading Chanel's story, who came out the other end to remind survivors that they're not alone, felt empowering.
Everyone should read this book. Everyone, but especially men.
