The only thing that kept it from being five stars is I did struggle to get into this book, I knew there was a lot of people involved in this which meant there was a lot of different writing styles etc. I thought it was more like Scarlett was interviewing everyone and then there was quotes from the people telling the stories, but Scarlett only has like 3 or 4 chapters in this and obviously she edited it or she was involved but I wanted more from her as the named author. She tells her story and gives foreword and final words, but I just wanted more. It's the same with Feminists don’t wear pink. I think I just forgot that she’s got a couple of chapters and edited it.
This book has motivated me to want to have the discussion more, to get my younger brother to read this, to show my nephew that it’s okay if he is struggling that I can be his shoulder or if he or my brother opens up to me about their mental health, I know how to support them. I want to make sure they get their mates to talk and opens up and to hopefully destroy the narrative of “boys don’t cry.”
