I listened to this on my iPhone while I ran over the last few weeks. I just really didn't enjoy this book. If it had been in book form, I would have quit long ago. Lots I just spaced out when listening to.
The author just comes across selfish & childish - and running away from her problems rather than trying to sort them out.

I can't say that I was overly impressed with this book, to me the author comes across as incredibly self-absorbed. I realize that she is struggling through her divorce and getting to know herself. I think it is great that she was able to do what she wanted to do for herself but it does all seem rather self-indulgent especially since so many women go through divorce and don't have the luxury of "escaping from it all".

This book was amazing. I'm only sad that it took me so long to finish it. Perhaps I was putting off the last half because I knew that I wouldn't be ready for it to end. Her story really resonated with me and at time I found myself even sniffling as I read about her experiences and her self-realizations. A truly great book and I look forward to hearing more about her life and adventures.

Such a great read.
I was both laughing and crying while reading this book. I think the author is really funny and I appreciate the way she describes things-particularly herself. Glad I read it before I go and hear her speak.
