I always like journeys of self-discovery (planned or unplanned)and I was compelled to read this because the writer sets out on purpose to try to figure out why she can't commit to a long-term relationship. So far I like the weaving of past with present, though I hope she doesn't continue to beat herself up about her past behavior. At his point in the book there is not enough about the dog, her traveling companion, to satisfy me -- she takes him along on purpose so I want to see more of their c

Thirty-something Lili, caught between a dying relationship with long-time boyfriend Stuart and a budding flirtation with an attractive writer Peter, flees New York and her dilemma to road trip it along the eastern seaboard in an attempt to find meaning in her romantic life, which has so far amounted to a series of failed relationships. At first she wanders aimlessly between coastal towns, but slowly her trip evolves into an exploration of her past loves and lovers. She moves between the towns

I was travelling in Switzerland when a woman I met gave me this book. She told me she was in her 30s, had just quit her job, was newly single and was on a journey. She said this book was perfect for where she was in her life and I was eager to read it. I didn't regret it. I think this book is the perfect travel companion and I recommend it to any woman who ever feels a little lost.

This was a great book when you think you met the right person who turns out to be the right person right now and suddenly meet the potential right person and you must venture on a journey of self discovery to really identify what it is you really want in life and love. Great book I read this often to keep grounded as to not make yet another bad relationship decision.

A simple story, enjoyable read, made me very reflective in a good way,about accepting oneself and the freedom to be who you are, taking time out for yourself just to simply be or to explore.Also it made me feel like taking a road trip,visiting seaside towns.

A woman's trip from Maine to the Florida keys to discover who she is and why she cannot commit to a relationship. Not sure if I will read any of her other books - very slow - but some WONDERFUL parts.

I've been avoiding writing a review for this book because I know I won't be able to do it justice.
I recommend it to everyone. Especially those struggling with self-identity. Just read it.

I found this at the library book sale and got sucked in on the plane ride home from vacation. For some reason, I feel really trashy admitting this, but I am enjoyed reading this book. Think light summer reading (a bit heavy on unnecessary similes) meets memoir. I have a horrible habit of not finishing the last 5 pages of books these days, unless the author really pulls me in (I mean it's bad! I'm full-steam ahead for all of it but the last 5 pages) and this book was no exception....so I shou

Personal, down-to-earth, funny and sad, this is a memoir which upon finishing the reader feels the author is a personal friend. Musings and philosophies about the past, present and future combine with often wacky characters to form a travelogue which I began to miss as soon as it concluded.

I was on a chick-lit binge during the summer of '03, and I'll most likely spare myself most of the reminders on my goodreads account, but this one in particular was worth reading. I enjoyed her style and story. Now that I've read the ubiquitous EPL by Liz Gilbert, I see that Lili Wright had a junior version of this kind of soul-searching road trip. She is also is/was a lit. professor at good old DePauw U. Cool.

This was an easy read, easy to put down and easy to pick back up. Nothing to keep you hooked and the ending was really disappointing. I don't need a fairtale or drama but an ending period would of been good.

This book really affected me when I read it. Wright was super honest and never afraid to make fun of herself, which made me laugh. A great book for a young woman who is uncertain about men.

I thought this book was ok. It wasn't bad enough to put down but not great that I blazed through the book.
