These are all very brief depending on the submission. But It does not go into super deep detail, really just mentions these briefly or for the sake of context (if I'm remembering correctly.)bookmarkedtbr's review against another edition

I'll be entirely honest - I started off thinking this was going to be an awful read. I don't read a lot of advice columns (any to be honest), so I'm not sure the usual style. I really wasn't sure how to feel when Strayed went on a tangent about her work as a youth advocate while responding to someone who had suffered a stillbirth - I get giving context, but it felt like hijacking the response to talk about herself. It also felt at times like things were just over simplified - do this one small thing and everything will be fixed.
However, the book got so much stronger at the end. The response about the future being uncertain and her mother buying a dress for a grandchild she never met struck me. The story about Brandon and the angry boys had me weeping. Strayed's advice to herself in her twenties was raw and real. I just wish every answer in the book had been as great as those ones, because Strayed has great advice and great style - it's just not always consistent.
