My Thoughts
I absolutely loved this book. I'm not an advice column reader but I was intrigued by Cheryl Strayed after reading Wild and was anxious to pick up some of her other stuff. Tiny Beautiful Things was definitely worth picking up. Very few of the actual questions that people asked Dear Sugar for advice on actually applied to me. But, I felt like every answer Sugar gave applied to me or could be applied to me. Sugar spoke to me and at times it felt like she could see inside me. I broke my cardinal rule about highlighted in books and defaced 1/3 of this book highlighting passages that touched me. I highly recommend this to anyone.
This sounds like a different and appealing book. Curious to read about the advice- as I usually find advice columns interesting, ever if I don't have the same problem. Thanks for sharing. Glad you liked this one so much!
