CN: book deals with trauma, sexual assault and stalking.

Could not put it down. Picked the book up on release date and stayed up to finish.

I find it challenging to review memoirs because sometimes it feels like you're reviewing someone's life or choices, or enjoying their despair, but I found her book super compelling and the honesty both challenging and inspiring (about self and other individuals.)

I think people will get a really important (and sometimes invisible) view of trauma and maybe an answer of why don't people leave or why do they stay in abusive situations or why they don't report or file restraining orders.

Julie offers insight into the experience of someone trying to navigate the justice system as a victim of stalking and abuse, and how it did and did not connect to her work as an advocate for others.
