This book is, in my opinion, extremely overrated. Some of my friends love it (and I still love them). There were glimpses of good writing, but the characters weren't likeable, and the pacing was uneven. It's an exotic setting/premise, but that's wasn't enough for me.

Interesting book - I usually like books about women in other cultures, how they adapt/survive. I like that even though her life seems glamorous she really has a very hard life.
great. so interesting.
