Thank you, Chanel, for sharing your story and standing up for fellow survivors of sexual assault. Your words are powerful. You are powerful. 

This was one of the most heart wrenching and beautifully written memoirs I’ve read. It’s a must read for everyone, especially survivors and people who know a survivor, and trust me, even if you don’t think you know one, you likely do, they just haven’t shared that part of their lives with you. 

And if you are a survivor yourself, know that you are not alone. Chanel is with you. I am with you. All of us are with you.

Chanel Miller is such a great storyteller. I remember when this case broke in the news. I did not realize the incident happened just months before I myself attended college! Hearing Miller tell us her story, displaying her anger, frustration, sadness, numbness, loneliness, hopelessness really brought power to her story, especially in Emily Doe's Victim Impact Statement at the end of the book.

I still don't read enough non-fiction to properly review it. All I can say is that this was an incredibly compelling read. I loved Chanel Miller's writing. I think she was really good at conveying her emotions and really pulling you in. If you can handle the subject matter I do truly think this is required reading.
