dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

What an absolutely devastating but truly important book. There is something about how Bri Lee writes that is like reading a letter from a friend. She is so open and honest about things that most people would bottle up inside in the fear that they may be judged but the importance of speaking about and reading these emotions is monumentuous.
This will be one of those books that I think back on in years to come.

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.

so well written and told and the mention of the Hills hoist at the end got me. A book that will definitely stick with me forever, and I will be constantly reminded of as I start my law degree this year. this feels like required reading for everyone who can.
