Masterpiece. Instant classic. Gut punch. What to say about this incredible book? Miller doesn't just draw back the curtain on women's need for constant vigilance and gender violence, she burns it. Her story, searing, honest, and fierce, blazes with pain, light, healing, and tenacity. I have never been spoken to so clearly, touched so deeply, and I've certainly never sobbed so hard with grief. This is a lament and a rocky path out of darkness. Miller's writing is clear, gorgeous, expressive, and incredibly well-crafted. Really a life-changing book.

This was such a powerful, revolutionary memoir, and listening to it read by Chanel was so moving. I am hopeful that society is moving in a direction where victims do not have to go nearly as far as Chanel did to receive appropriate justice. I am also hopeful that these acts of violence can continue to be intercepted by community and looking out for each other. Believe victims, and believe women.

Wow. This was a difficult read. It was so beautifully written, but so difficult to digest. Chanel Miller writes with poetry that is at stark odds with the horrors she describes in her memoir. There were many moments I had to step away from this story, because the subject matter is so difficult to digest, but it was well worth the read. Chanel Miller offers hope, beauty, solidarity, and justice in a world that is still so cold and uncaring towards survivors.
