rbacon's review

challenging dark emotional hopeful inspiring sad tense fast-paced

This book is truly phenomenal. It speaks to the fears of every woman and tells her she is not defined by them. It says our names and who we are is important. It also calls out systemic failure in systems we are taught to trust, saying excuses are not enough. Truth is truth, even when noone cam see it. I hope this book was healing for Chanel and she is able to continue to be a force to be reckoned with for future generations to remember.

One of the best books I've ever read. I'm sad that this book had to be written and the circumstances that led up to this book, but I'm so glad it exists. Chanel Miller is seriously an angel in this world and a beacon of hope.
