Let's Get Real: Dear Prudence by Daniel M. Lavery

"Dear Prudence: Liberating Lessons from SLATE.com’s Beloved Advice Column" by Daniel M. Lavery fields questions about relationships, work dilemmas, social faux pas, and just about everything else.

Under Lavery's tenure, Prudie's advice was modern and informed but presented with enough of the gentility and clever turns of phrase of the classic advice-givers to endear the column to a wide readership. Collected here are some of his favorite letters with notes on those that kept him up at night, those he wished he'd answered differently, and those he still hopes had happy endings.
