challenging dark emotional informative inspiring sad tense slow-paced

3.5

the courage of bri lee to make the choices she did consistently for personal and community justice no matter how difficult is something i do not want to diminish in the slightest. i stand with her as an abuse survivor and thank her for her candour. however, the lack of acknowledgement for her privilege and at times true judgement of those in both country australia and Aboriginal communities was quite upsetting. her inexperience with intersectionality unfortunately drew me away from the book in many aspects, but i am glad i read it nonetheless.

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.
