Can't Help Myself: Lessons & Confessions from a Modern Advice Columnist by Meredith Goldstein
kellyhager's review
I am completely fascinated with advice columns and one of my favorite podcasts is Dear Sugars (Cheryl Strayed's book, Tiny Beautiful Things, is also one of my favorite books ever). This book, which is a combination of that and a quirky memoir, seemed absolutely perfect for me.
I don't read the column so this was my first introduction to Meredith Goldstein and Love Letters. It's unusual in that readers also write in and give advice---even more unusual these days, because the people are generally pretty awesome and sincere. It's like they've found the only troll-free place on the internet!
This book was incredibly fun and I want to be friends with Meredith. Also, I have years worth of back columns to read. Win-win!

A warm and funny memoir from an advice columnist who isn't afraid to show her human side. If you loved Amy Dickinson's book Strangers Tend to Tell Me Things: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Coming Home, you'll love this one, too.
