emotional inspiring reflective medium-paced

3.75

a memorable memoir that simultaneously details the infamous stanford assault from the previously anonymous survivor's POV and serves as an incisive rebuke of not only rape culture but also the failing justice system that tramples on survivors twice, even thrice over.

miller's writing is crisp and defyingly straightforward, powerfully conveying the initial confusion after the assault, and the subsequent mix of complex emotions that followed the yrs after: disbelief, fear, disappointment, rage and ultimately, hope. this book's honestly eye-opening in how the justice system and court process negatively affect survivors' lives, and it's baffling and enraging. there are very powerful moments st certain parts of the book that point out the larger culture's hypocrisy, double standards, and reaffirm miller's and other survivors' own self and autonomy. it's some memorable reading, thats for sure.
