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.
