Wow. It was almost hard to remember this was a real life event. Slater did a phenomenal job in her writing to really make you feel empathy for both people. This is real. You don’t get clean cut right and wrong. The laws aren’t the answer. 

My only wish is that this had been written by or with someone who could have an own voices perspective. Regardless, this was well done. I’m still torn. I care for both people.

I don’t remember much about this book, but I do remember it being a pretty effective read. It was one of the first memoirs I read that made me think about how much privilege I have as a white cis female in America. I really don’t have much to say about it, but if you’re looking for a memoir to educate yourself, here’s a great starting point.
