As a former bookseller who sold like a billion copies of this book when it was first released, I avoided/hated it for a while, but reviews from friends convinced me to give it a try. 2015 has kicked my ass pretty hard, so I turned to it looking for comfort, wisdom, catharsis, etc etc. Not disappointed.

This is Chicken Soup for the Adult Soul! Didn’t expect to enjoy this compilation of advice columns as much as I did.

I was unfamiliar with the Dear Sugar advice column, and this collection of “greatest hits” covered a wide range of topics. The anonymous author (Cheryl Strayed, author of the memoir Wild), shares deeply vulnerable personal anecdotes in response to each of her letters which is what makes it feel so impactful. I didn’t love the way she refers to everyone as a pet name like Honey Bun or Sweet Pea, but I did appreciate the empathetic way she responded to even the most entitled askers for advice.
