While I didn’t always agree with the advice and some of the topics were not ones I wanted to hear, she did an excellent job of making each response a story and drawing you in to her tale. Much of her advice is anecdotal. The style sitting somewhere between Jenny Lawson & Brenè Btown.
There is quite a bit of sex and sexuality related content and many four letter words that start with F.

There are two quotes towards the end of the memoir that I feel capture the essence of the advice Sugar/Cheryl gives:
“It was a becoming that I would not have dreamed was mine” (323)
“Your life will be a great and continous unfolding” (351).
I highly recommend this book. And if you like this one, then you will also love How to be a Person in the World by Heather Havrilesky/Ask Polly.

you’re feeling lost, hopeless, not good enough, deserving but unlucky, regretful, guilty, ashamed, disempowered, confused, heartbroken, lonely, isolated, alone, misunderstood, underachieving.
Read if you are a partner, wife, husband, mother, father, boyfriend, girlfriend, daughter, son, child, friend, fuck buddy, teacher, student.
Read it if you don’t have anyone in your life who can love you and know you but still tell it to your straight.
You will find something here for you, so sift through and find it.

I definitely missed some trigger warnings but there were so many I can’t remember them. If I had known about them, I wouldn’t have read the book. It’s so heavy. Despite that, I know that it helped me a little bit, deal with some of the things that have happened to me.amberlfaris's review against another edition
