Know My Name by Chanel Miller

"I am a victim, I have no qualms with this word, only with the idea that it is all that I am."

Beautifully-written and incredibly influential. I believe everybody should read this book. Chanel Miller's writing style is as if she burrowed in your ear, spoke in a way to tell her story and truly impact you.

My goal is to reread this book. I have no clue if I will accomplish this soon or much, much later; I feel like I didn't digest enough of it because my life is in chaos right now. I latched onto a a physical thing to keep a sense of normality and that didn't let me fully comprehend this narrative. And this story is not one I can read and let flow away.
