What a raw and beautifully written account of what would’ve been a terribly traumatic experience. Lee does a fantastic job of explaining the legal system in a way that makes sense but also examines it through the lens of her own thoughts, feelings and experiences. I really remarkable and confronting read that I would recommend to everyone if they can handle it.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Child abuse, Eating disorder, Fatphobia, Rape, and Suicidal thoughts

I didn’t take any notes as I read this one, but I made countless bookmarks. This is a championing memoir I want to tell everyone to read.
Getting through this book during the continuing press of sex crimes within the Australian Liberal Party was like putting a mirror in front of me and seeing the things surrounding me as an Australian, for the first time. Like getting slapped on the face with the harsh reality of it all, wanting to scream to everyone about the absurdity of it; of our current government, of this current press coverage and the revictimisation many are experiencing after the constant bullshit from Scott Morrison and Christian Porter.
I don’t know how to end this review. I hope more victims get to see their abusers held accountable.
