This book is a collection of letters and responses from the Dear Sugar column, but it isn't just your average advice column...it's stunningly real, honest, and frank, and it's just exquisite. I laughed out loud and I teared up at points. Cheryl has a way of shooting straight to the heart of the matter while also elegantly and eloquently weaving in personal anecdotes that make even you as the reader feel intimately connected to these people and their stories. "Let yourself be gutted" is right. It's so good.
