"Heather Havrilesky, New York magazine’s self-proclaimed “existential advice” columnist, is both the first and last person you’d seek out for guidance. On one hand, she’ll shake you by the shoulders and tell you the truth. On the other, she’s the friend rooting you on, cursing (creatively) all the way. Taking on topics such as “Am I Too Weird?” and “I’m Thirty-Eight and Everything Is Awful,” Havrilesky abandons the prim and proper and instead delivers delightfully offbeat wisdom with a side of straight talk."
