Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar by Cheryl Strayed
5.0
Stop. Put down whatever book you're reading and get this wise, funny, tart, and oh so true wonder by Cheryl Strayed. Yes, it's a book made up of the advice column pieces she wrote for an online mag. And it is SO SO much more. Part memoir, part kind companion for anyone alive and wondering how to move forward when relationships, feelings, and experiences just don't fit into neat little rows.
I love Strayed's approach and her writing voice. With deft wit and deep compassion she responds to the most varied letters and woes. I read the letter to which she will respond and wonder how it is she finds and catches the particular thread that matters most, then responds with honesty, warmth and encouragement that makes readers see themselves at their truest and still best. Shattering insight. Unrelenting hope.
I MUST have a personal copy. (I dog-eared and underlined a bit in this library copy.)
Recommending to every woman I know who appreciates a tender, slightly salty and stunning read.
Found quote gems in most every chapter. I included a juicy one in my most recent blog entry right here.
