Summary:
Life – in its many magnificent, complicated forms – is something to be both marveled and feared.

Under the pseudonym Sugar on a blog called The Rumpus, Strayed brings readers into her loving embrace. In her unabashedly raw advice column, Strayed draws on her own personal experiences, sharing with readers the most intimate details of her life. She implores them to reach for their best life despite even the most difficult, heart wrenching experiences. As she sums it up to one reader “We’re all going to die, Johnny. Hit the iron bell like it’s dinnertime.”

My Thoughts:
Strayed’s insight and compassion shine through brightly in her reassuring advice columns. Tackling everything from infidelity to death to betrayal, Strayed’s letters run the gamut of emotions, forcing readers to tackle their darkest behaviours while compelling them to do better in the future.

Strayed’s straight up, no bull**** advice really rang true for me. I think it will for you too!
