Know My Name by Chanel Miller
5.0
When Chanel Miller’s victim impact statement was published in 2016, after the conclusion of her sexual assault trial against Brock Turner, it went viral.
Messages of support poured in for her and, of this, she writes in her book: “Almost every message I received opened with someone telling me the location of where they were crying. They were enraged and then devastated, and then they said thank you, said everyone must read it.”
That sums up my take on KNOW MY NAME. It’s a hard but absolutely stunning read. I’ve now read it twice, this time with the audio as well. And it is sealed as one of the best memoirs, best books in general, I’ve ever read.
