Dear Abby eat your heart out ...

I loved this book, narrated by the author, Cheryl Strayed. Although I would highly recommend it to people in their twenties, and thirties, And even forties, I found myself, at 53 welling up with tears, and gleaning nuggets of advice and forgiveness from Sugar’s columns. There were stories I could relate to personally, and some I couldn’t, but all were beautiful in their own way. Thanks Sweet Pea!

One of the Beat Books I’ve Ever Read

I listened to this book twice back to back. How can so much wisdom and love inhabit one human being? My heart swelled and my eyes teared up many, many times. I grew emotionally and felt love exponentially. Possibly one of the most beautiful, compassionate, hopeful books I have ever encountered. Thank you Cheryl for the beautiful gift you have just bestowed upon humanity.

Do Yourself a Huge Favour and Listen to This Book

It's always interesting to listen to a book read by the author, although some books are better read by another voice (Stephen Fry is the best Harry Potter narrator in the universe) and some books are better read than listened to. But some books are written to be read aloud, some books are written in the active voice, from the narrator's perspective, in a conversational language. And then there are those rare books which are written with so much empathy that the only thing better than reading it is listening to it.
This book has all of those qualities, that make its better listened to, hearing the author's voice telling you her own story.
This book cannot be listened to in one sitting, every story needed a pause to let the story sink in. They were that good.
So not only is this book outstanding and phenomenal, it is also the perfect book to listen to the author read to you.
Do yourself an immense favour and listen to this book.

Even when it wasnt my story, it was.

I had never heard of this column, written by "Sugar". I don't even remember how I came across this book. All I know is that, I'm grateful I did.

Even in the stories that seemingly had no relation to my life, I learned something. Be it; a new perspective, a surprising understanding, or a deep unexplainable compassion for those who lead a difficult life.

These stories that I played through my morning coffee, in the quiet of my livingroom while my kids slept, and my heart healed from it's very recent heartbreak, allowed me to; laugh, cry, and think deeply about my world.

Thank you, Sugar.
