2020: Every single person who has never been sexually assaulted NEEDS to read this book, because you know someone who has and you need to understand what it does to them. If you know four people, you know someone who has been assaulted. If you have been assaulted, I also encourage you to read this story, but take your time with it, my friends, for it is a heavy read.

Miller talks about how Turner was always referenced in terms of his potential; I am so devastatingly sad that she suffered at his hands, but my God, if this is an example of her potential, I am so glad she was given the platform to share her talents with the world. She is a POWERHOUSE of an author, the imagery leaps off the page, and I seriously cannot believe this is her first book. I have not underlined so many sentences, so beautifully crafted, of both pain and suffering and joy and happiness in a book in a LONG time (maybe ever?)

First book of the year, best book of the year? More like best book I have read as an adult. I kid you not: READ THIS BOOK.
