Overall Thoughts:
⁕ Miller’s prose combined with her relentless commitment to detail and the truth of her experience made this a beautiful, gripping, and heart-wrenching read. It’s a hard book to put down, but I recommend reading in smaller chunks so that the gravity of her words has time to sink in.
⁕ I learned A LOT about the mechanisms and failings of the legal system when it comes to survivors of assault. If you have ever found yourself wondering “why don’t survivors just report to the police,” I HIGHLY encourage you to read this.
⁕ I don’t share all of her experiences but, as a woman, her willingness to share her story means so much to me. There were so many moments when reading where my fears and anger felt seen and validated.
