PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, starred review – “For a regrounding in the beauty of what it means to be flawed and gorgeously
human, for answers that feel real, Strayed’s caring essays offer surprisingly rich comfort.”
KIRKUS REVIEWS – “A realistic and poignant compilation of the intricacies of relationships.”
LIBRARY JOURNAL, starred review – “Beautifully written and genuinely wise, this book is full of heartache and love. Highly
recommended.”
THE WASHINGTON POST – “A fascinating blend of memoir and self-help.”
THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE – “To say that Cheryl Strayed is an Internet advice columnist does not do her justice. Tiny
Beautiful Things is a gob-smacking high, a brilliant reinvention of the Miss Lonelyhearts genre.”
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY – “Beautifully written, honest and forthright, poignant and personal. She proves real
connection is still possible.”
TIME MAGAZINE – “An odd, contradictory and moving invention: an anecdotal memoir—that most narcissistic of
genres—whose every chapter is written lovingly and generously to someone else.”
OPRAH.COM – “A riveting, emotionally charged reading (translation: be prepared to bawl) that leaves you significantly wiser
for the experience.”
SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE – “Tiny Beautiful Things serves as a guide for anyone who is lost, and those who only think
they might be.”
THE HUFFINGTON POST – “A place to lose your heart and find it again. The columns are a gift, and so too is the book.”
SALON – “Strayed has a special talent for glimmering, golden turns of phrase that seem to hold all the promise and hope in
the world—they’re Bible verses for a secular audience.”
