I'm probably missing trigger warnings - this book has pretty much every trigger warning there is. It is sometimes very difficult to read, yet somehow Cheryl Strayed's responses make it still seem hopeful. Like we can all muddle through the pain called living and find a way to still feel purpose and connection. I have read this, listened to it, and read it again. My physical copy is practically disintegrating. I can't say enough about how much this book has spoke to me.

dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad

4.5

 This is not just advice on love and life, she gave advice on everything. The way she answers these questions and how she pulls examples from her life and from others' lives, is so impactful. Her writing is beautiful, she would give analogies that just work so well. I found myself laughing and crying as I read this, and it's exactly what I needed.

هذا الكتاب هو مجموعة اجوبة "سكر" ونصائحها بعمود اسئلة لمجلة The Rumpus.
العنوان يذكر ان النصائح هي عن الحب والحياة لكن هي اعطت نصائح لكل شيء. طريقتها بالاجابة وكيف استوحت امثلة من حياتها ومن حياة الاشخاص الي حواليها كانت مؤثرة جدا. كتابتها جميلة للغاية ، استخدمت العديد من التشبيهات التي يكون لها اثر قوي بالقاريء. خلال قرائتي لهذا الكتاب ضحكت وبكيت وبعض الاجوبة كانت بالضبط ما احتجت سماعه.
