Instantly became one of my favorite books. Chanel’s writing makes you feel like you’re not only a friend, but a sibling, and it leaves you dizzy with how to navigate as an onlooker to her trauma. Graciously vulnerable and joyfully honest.

This was difficult to read but I could not put it down. So good and so heartbreaking.

This is a hard read. As a woman, as a mother to a girl, as a human. Extremely well written, and I have already ordered her (unrelated) children's book.

When a woman is assaulted, one of the first questions people ask is, Did you say no? This question assumes the answer was always yes, and that it is her job to revoke the agreement. To defuse the bomb she was given. But why are they allowed to touch us until we physically fight them off? Why is the door open until we have to slam it shut?

Super well written memoir. This was such a high profile case and seeing it from the media v.s reading her perspective and how it impacted her life really f*ked me up. I loved every bit of it.
