Phenomenal, incredible, amazing. Heartbreaking, I have never in my life read my own experiences and thoughts put so well into text. This was such an incredible read. It’s definitely worth the time for everyone to read at some point. I did it over the course of ten days In between other books, but it is so important.

Tough book to read. I was struck by how "not that bad" is used to minimize a survivor's suffering, and how often survivors are told to stop being so angry.

This book is a deeply challenging and important collection of stories that lays bare the violent and insidious truth of sexual assault and rape in the US today (and the world). I could barely get through it, but I'm so glad I did. When I finished, I felt overwhelmed by the gravity of what was contained within, but also inspired and validated by the community that can form when secrets are bared, truths are told, and experiences are honored, not diminished.

A powerful collection of heartbreaking & often infuriating personal accounts written by people whose lives have been changed by incidents of rape, sexual assault, & harassment, and an examination of the pervasiveness of rape culture in our society. So, so, so important. The kind of work you finish and wish you could put in front of everyone (particularly every man) on the planet. (Or at least those for whom reading it would not stir up undue pain/trauma from past experiences).
