I tabbed this book 107 times. 
As a rape victim I have never felt so understood, seen, and loved. 

"You are not a statistic or a stereotype, so when they minimize you, dehumanize you, objectify you, you must push back with your whole weight, with you lifetime of experiences. To the faceless, the ones who remain anonymous. We each have a name. You have taught me to be proud of mine."

i've been challenging the way i view nonfiction and rating it with a rating system, but parts of this book were written so tenderly that i have to acknowledge that. i thank chanel's words every day for carrying so much of my february reading month. this book left me in awe of the power words have. chanel is a spectacular human being and this piece of work reflects that.

This is not a book you can love. I hate this book. I hate that it has to exist, that these words are true and that they resonate so deeply with so many women. I hate that it has to exist, but I’m glad that it does. I have never in my life had to put down a book that I wanted to keep reading so many times - I lost count of the times I felt a tightness in my chest, tears welling in my eyes, an ache in my heart. I took my time moving through this, absorbing every word and feeling it in my soul. Evocative and deeply moving, 5 huge and unwavering stars. This should be required reading.
