an affecting memoir from an extremely important perspective highlighting a point in history where she was forced to remain anonymous despite being the true center of the story. it illustrates the consequences of sexual assault from a perspective only she could give.
i do not want to criticize with the intent of saying don’t read this; to be clear, you should definitely read this, but i did not connect with the writing style as much as i would’ve liked. it has some cliches that took me out of it, a few typos which surprised me, and just generally lacked some polish a few more edits could’ve fixed. regardless, definitely interested in chanel’s work in the future and am glad to have read this.
