tangleroot_eli's review against another edition
Instead, Brave Face is 97% the times leading up to Hutchinson's
Still, the book's very good at being what it is: a heartbreaking portrait of the terrible toll of internalized and societal homophobia and mental health stigma.

erco's review against another edition
5.0
As somebody who in history cut myself and try multiple times to take my life and a huge reason for that was my sexuality and the people around me. This book takes me back in my history a look in a different way.
Is a fast audiobook but I can imagine some people will give this whole new perspective about mental health and it is not easy how it looks. I can relate to the author so much in this book. The not existing hope that you will never live a normal live or rather be in a shitty relationship, but hey unless you got a partner better than being single...
It gets better and I know you can see it get better, but for many of us who grow up in not-so-welcome places, books like this give you hope.
