“Revolutionary. . . . In Strayed’s hands, the advice column [is] a radical therapeutic experience. . . . like downing a cup of ayahuasca. . . Strayed would transform your existential problem into swooning, bespoke essays that exposed as much of the advice-giver as they did of the petitioner. . . . [She] has steadily opened up a new vocabulary for how we express ourselves, personally and politically." ­—The New Yorker

“Charming, idiosyncratic, luminous, profane. . . . Sugar is the ultimate advice columnist for the internet age. . . . She shines out amid the sea of fakeness.” —The New Republic
 
“Destined to become a classic of the form.” —Aimee Bender, author of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake
 
“These pieces are nothing short of dynamite.” —Salon
