'Ask Polly's Guide to Your Next Crisis' by Heather Havrilesky is a collection of questions and brutally honest answers for a modern age.

The questions mainly focus on love, but there are also question about continuing writing and one even question continuing living. Polly answers frankly and in very frank language. She's the kind of voice you wish your best friend had (or perhaps does, if you're so lucky). The answers are not always what the questioner wants, but the advice feels solid and heartfelt, or even gut-felt, if that's a thing.

The situations we get ourselves in to can be complicated by tunnel vision and our own skewed view of what is happening. It's good to know there is someone willing to be frank, especially in some of the more dire cases in this book.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Vintage, Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

I reviewed this book in a wrap-up video on my YouTube channel, link attached.

Heather Havrilesky has a way of seeing truth. She may wind and swoop her way to revealing it, but she is magical and her words will guide you.

If you are a fan of Ask Polly already, there is nothing here that you haven't already read.

But it is all still beautiful, glorious, and real.
