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.

challenging emotional hopeful inspiring sad tense medium-paced

5.0

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.
