Things We Didn't Talk About When I Was a Girl: A Memoir

“I'm compelled, she says, by your conflicted relationship with power. You want it, through the narrative, but you keep disavowing it. I'm just trying to acknowledge that there's an imbalance. This all feels very gendered to me, she says.”

In this book, Vanasco interviews a former friend who raped her in college. This is such a nuanced, powerful, timely, and important book, and I am so impressed with Vanasco's honesty and transparency, even when it doesn't paint her in the best light. Highly recommend.

This was an interesting and unique perspective to add to the many voices of the #MeToo movement - particularly in its honest discussion of the doubt and ambivalence that can come when processing a sexual assault. Worth the read.
