I appreciated the book/story. And I prefer non-fiction books (especially memoire's) to be read by the author. However, Chanel was not a good reader. Her monotone delivery "flattened" the story. If I had to do it over again, I would read a print edition.

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.

It's not fun to read about rape and a volition of one's body, but it's important to understand the power of a victim standing up to her betrayer.

One of the most important books i’ve read. Worth the read if you can handle it. Chanel is so incredibly wise and we deserve to hear her story in her words.
