I think as individual columns this works but as a collection it felt condescending and repetitive. If I could have read one chapter a week (instead of a library loan) it might have been a better experience but I’ll also be fine not finishing this one. IMO this is blog content that should stay that way rather than published in a book format

This book made me cry real tears three times as someone who lost their parents and as a twenty-something woman. 

That said, sometimes it felt like Strayed told a lot of her own story instead of addressing the writer's. If you like those podcasts or TikToks that discuss Reddit AITA posts, you will like this book. Many thanks to the mentor who recommended it to me.

Read it if any of the following applies to you, and you can’t find your peace:

you’re feeling lost, hopeless, not good enough, deserving but unlucky, regretful, guilty, ashamed, disempowered, confused, heartbroken, lonely, isolated, alone, misunderstood, underachieving. 

Read if you are a partner, wife, husband, mother, father, boyfriend, girlfriend, daughter, son, child, friend, fuck buddy, teacher, student.

Read it if you don’t have anyone in your life who can love you and know you but still tell it to your straight. 

You will find something here for you, so sift through and find it.

God its such a beautiful book. This is the kind of book I believe everyone should read at least once. Everyone can get SOMETHING out of it, whether big or small.

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.)
