I’m not even sure where to start or what to say in this review. I remember reading an article on Buzzfeed several years ago, and that was the first time I’d heard about this case. My heart was so sad when I read that article, and my heart broke reading Chanel’s memoir.

I really admire Chanel’s courage and determination throughout the legal process and while writing this book. She is brave, and her words (both in the impact statement and this memoir) give a voice to victims across the world.

This book, while hard to read, is extremely impactful and important. I think everyone should read it.
