Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar
by Cheryl Strayed
I haven't read "Wild" or seen the movie and I can't remember what lead me to "Tiny Beautiful Things." But I'm a sucker for well-written, honest memoirs and that's pretty much what this is, albeit disguised as an advice column. I don't mean to discount the advice part of it; Strayed clearly takes seriously her role in helping people make sense of their lives, especially in those moments when it feels like nothing will ever make sense again. Her advice is mostly spot-on, thoughtful and constructive; she doesn't settle for being glib or snarky, which is so much easier. But the real reason to read this is Strayed's insight, and I'll admit that several of the columns had me in tears. Yes, it gets annoying that she calls everyone "Sweet Pea." Ignore that and read this anyway.
