Know My Name

Chanel is extremely eloquent and a beautiful writer. I have a lot of respect and admiration for her, and will look forward to her future works.

I did have technical issues with the book. This may have been intentional, but things got pedantic in the last few chapters. While I thoroughly enjoyed how she weaved in her memoir, I was not convinced by the events she described which didn't personally happen to her. I get how they affected her, but it came off as too much of a push to align with her views and statements.

She did dot the book with meaningful quotes, which made me stop reading to take a breather - just as much as the traumatic events did. The maturity in her voice is impactful, and I'd consider this to be one of my top reads.
