If you are passionate about food, travel, people, and/or spirituality, this is a book you'll probably love. I really connected with Gilbert's struggle to be happy - not just ok, but really happy - all by herself, without needing the companionship that so many people assume we all should have. Amazing book!

It's been awhile since I've read a book that's made me spontaneously tear up, and everyone knows I'm a total emo sap. This. Yes. Sitting in the middle of Mr. Crepe, crepe neglected on the table because I was too engrossed in Liz's travels.

Just read the Italy section. Liked the idea of pursuing pleasure and doing nothing. Too much discussion of relational woes for me though. And woo-woo spirituality. Writing was nice, but not magnetic to keep me going.
This is a must read for EVERYONE.
