Miller recounts being sexually assaulted and all of the aftermath. This isn't an easy read. It's quite graphic. But it's important. I hope that people will learn from her experiences.
I was especially appalled that no one took the time to explain to her what had happened regarding the assault, or what the legal/court process was going to look like. It was awful to hear that her rapist received a ridiculously light sentence. I was relieved to hear that there was backlash about that, and some changes came about.
There was a lot of profanity; though, given the context, it didn't really bother me.
I really liked Miller's writing style overall, but by the end of the book, I was wishing she had used more semicolons in places where she'd only used commas.
The book was a tad too long for me, and I didn't agree with everything the author said, but I definitely believe this is a worthwhile read.… (més)
