This is a highly disturbing book because of what the author had to go through in her life. She does a good job writing her story and I found it very interesting. I don't necessarily agree with her on her political stances on things, but I found that didn't matter. What mattered was seeing how the law was applied in a way that was very destructive and disturbing. This book is an important monument to the power of the state and how it can go very wrong when over application happens.

I Am Not Your Enemy is a candid and thought-provoking memoir from Reality Winner, offering a firsthand account of the consequences of standing up for what she believed was right. Her voice is strong, unapologetic, and often deeply human as she recounts her experiences as an intelligence specialist, whistleblower, and federal prisoner.

What stands out most is her willingness to be vulnerable. She doesn't paint herself as a hero but as someone navigating incredibly complex moral terrain. The writing is raw and personal, with moments that are both heartbreaking and surprisingly hopeful.

That said, the book can feel uneven in tone. Some sections are powerfully written while others come across as rushed or fragmented. The structure occasionally loses momentum, making it harder to stay engaged throughout.

Still, this memoir matters. It's a unique perspective on patriotism, sacrifice, and accountability in modern America. Readers who appreciate firsthand accounts of justice and resilience will find value here, even if the execution isn’t flawless.

This is a fascinating story of how the USA government made an example of Reality Winner, her background story is amazing and the detail of the court case and life inside Jail and federal prison is an eye opening. Reality doesn’t shy away from her dark days and her drug use - A brilliant read

This was an interesting read. It moved quickly and pulled me in on the first page. I found the story captivating and engrossing. The author takes the reader through her life beginning with the earliest years in an effort to explain who she is and what ultimately led her to leak a classified document, the powers at play, and her descent into the justice system. Where I did find this book to be a fascinating read, I question if everything within the text is true and free from embellishment. However, this question in the back of my mind did not hinder me from enjoying this book. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys political thrillers and biographies of everyday people thrust into the spotlight.

Reality Winner had a very different growing up experience, including how her parents came to pick her name. She took an unconventional career path that eventually led her to expose some classified information, landing her in prison. That part of this book was interesting, but it meandered around too much on less interesting topics, and I got bored. Ended up skimming through the last half, so this title isn't one that I would recommend.

This is such a raw and human account of something unfathomable. Reality Winner isn’t some mastermind out to ruin the country. She’s a woman, flawed and brave, who faced incredible adversity in her situation. I think the book was fascinating but disjointed. It spent more time in her childhood than prison and I think it could’ve benefited from a swap in the percentages!
