A review by girlreading
It's Not OK to Feel Blue (and other lies) by Scarlett Curtis
4.0
I took my time reading this, dipping in and out of it over a few months and I loved that the way this book is formatted allowed me to do this.
This is a balanced, inclusive and nuanced collection of autobiographical essays, art and poetry exploring not only themes of mental health but also race, gender, sexuality and money. It's a collection have no doubt will be a huge comfort for many readers.
People having open and honest discussions is the only way we're going to be able to break the stigma surrounding mental health and mental illness. But the sheer amount of contributors to this collection gives me hope that, as a society, we're finally slowly moving forward in terms of these conversations.
