Le premier tiers / moitié est giga intéressant, le fait de vivre et de découvrir les infos en même temps qu'elle, le fait d'assister au procès de son point de vue ect c'était un bon témoignage de comment ces procédures sont inadaptées pour les victimes.

C'est vrai que vers la fin c'est  un peu répétitif, avec des idées vraies mais larges, qui remettent en cause la societé mais sans trop se mouiller, on touche du doigt des idées "radicales" sans vrmt s'y intéresser. C'est dommage mais je comprends aussi ce choix pour garder une universalité, sachant que des gens trouvent déjà ce livre "trop politique" psk elle critique Trump, sans parler de tout ce qui est systémique dans le pays. 

Je vais pas noter psk je veux pas faire baisser le référencement, ça reste un témoignage d'une victime et donc rien que pour ça c'est important, mais juste pour le côté trop begginrr friendly et répétitif de la fin 3.25 / 3.5

beautiful. cried. 

hate hate hate people that judge memoirs like this based on things that definitely make sense to be in the book like repeating yourself (like she didn’t relieve the trauma every day) and why did she talk about politics like her body wasn’t politicised? like she doesn’t live as an asian woman in america under trumps legislation???? hello??? when will women be able to live.

the easiest five star I’ve ever given. this is probably the closest thing to a must read book. your friends should read it. your enemies should read this. tbh I wish I could just shove it down everyone’s throats <3

Goosebumps reading this. Sometimes tears. It is immensely rewarding to read something that is so searingly honest, introspective, brave. You feel it all with Chanel. The fear, humiliation, shame, hope, relief, change.

Chanel Miller's story is one of bravery and beauty. I'm grateful that such a strong woman channeled and articulated a complex mix of emotions like pain, rage, and anxiety into a brilliant memoir. My heart hurts after reading about her experiences, but is hopeful that her work is a catalyst for positive change in institutions that are meant to help and empower victims of sexual assault. Despite the darkness that descended upon their lives, Chanel and her amazing support system found and created light. This book felt emotionally difficult to process, but it is necessary for this story to be told as truthfully as possible.
