I had to read this book for school and, well... It wasn't too good. Half of the book was Liz's narcissistic rants, and the other half was her being extremely self-pitying despite how lucky she is. She's pretty rich, she's white, she's apparently "beautiful," and she has the ability to travel abroad for a year to "find herself." Liz never ONCE mentions how privileged she is to be able to do what she is doing. All this book is is just Liz crying about how "sad" she is about a divorce that SHE initiated, then crying about how all the men she loves leaves her. It's quite the opposite of inspiring -- frankly, it was kind of pathetic. Her perfect fairytale ending was irking instead of cute -- she had hardly any conflict at all throughout the book. The entire book can be summarized right here: "Everything works out for poor little Liz, the end!" It could also be categorized as a mid-life crisis book. This book is literally the definition of the word "mid-life crisis." 
 It just, really, really pissed me off at points. The only parts I liked about it were the spiritual parts, because I enjoy learning about religious practices like meditation and chanting. But, besides that, I wasn't really a fan of this book. At all.
