Hulu’s latest TV series is an adaptation of Cheryl Strayed’s essay collection. Kathryn Hahn almost — but doesn’t quite — save it from corny jail.
It’s not surprising that Hello Sunshine, Reese Witherspoon’s production company, would choose to adapt, Cheryl Strayed’s 2012 collection of essays. In 2014, Witherspoon starred in and produced, Strayed’s 2012 memoir about hiking the Pacific Crest Trail to cope with her mother’s death and her own divorce.was already a New York Times bestseller and Oprah’s Book Club pick, but the movie catapulted Strayed to a new echelon of success.

Through her letters, Sugar’s persona comes together gradually, in serendipitous glimpses that add depth to what is frequently a formulaic genre of writing.

sometimes lacks confidence in its ability to connect past to present. It relies on a few recurring techniques, with mixed results. One of its strategies is to link parallel plots with physical objects; a successful version of this connects Clare’s childhood to Frankie Rae’s through a motif of stars.
