I read nothing but good reviews of this collection, and I'm afraid that I'll do nothing but just throw another one on top of the pile.
Even if you aren't the sort who likes advice columns or self help, "Sugar's" columns are so beautifully written, poignant, and compassionate that they can speak to almost anyone. I think anyone who picks up this book will relate to at least one of the letters; I related to several and found myself hanging on "Sugar's" every word of her response. Even those far out ...more

This is the second book that has fallen into my hands while perusing the bookshelves at Powell's books in the PDX airport.
