I cried, I laughed & cried some more. Highly recommend Tiny Beautiful Things.
"Don't lament so much about how your career is going to turn out. You don't have a career. You have a life. Do the work. Keep the faith. Be true blue. You are a writer because you write. Keep writing and quit your bitching. Your book has a birthday. You don't know what it is yet." - Dear Sugar

Sometimes bad advice. She goes off on tangents of personal stories that don’t often seem related to the advice being sought
kassiani's review against another edition
Loved the writing (her compassionate voice and radical empathy). Wasn't sure about it because I could not get into the tv series, but the book format worked for me. Adored her nicknames (sweet pea, cool cat...). On emotional health (setting boundaries...).
Made me want to read a biography on Cary Grant.
Especially enjoyed:
- like an iron bell (on discerning and expressing love)
- the future has an ancient heart (on english degrees, vocations, and carrying stories with you)
- the human scale (on religion)
- tiny revolutions (body positivity)
- romantic love is not a competitive sport
- the big life
- the known unknown
- the obliterated place (losing a child or parent)
- transcend
- the ordinary miraculous

This is just so good. This is my second reading -- I've read this on the page and listened on audio -- and it still hits all these years later.

This was absolutely beautiful. There were so many quotes that really spoke to me.
