I read it a couple of years back. Was so excited becuase of the rave reviews it had gotten, but I was sooooooooo disappointed. I love love love reading, but I found it extremely difficult to get into it. Like Heaven, I was pretty bored with it. I did read it to the end though just to see if it got better, lol.
I enjoyed it, although I did get bored by the time she got to Bali and ended up skipping to the end. The part where she is in India was my favourite. I did think it was self-indulgent, and also the fact that she spends a year of her life travelling to different countries and finding herself is something that is out of reach for most people - lovely for her that she could do it, but most of us can't just pack up and leave our lives for a year. But I think that was the point really - she wrote the book for herself, about herself and doesn't apologise for that.
I did end up feeling very sorry for her ex-husband. She does not paint him favourably at all, makes him look like the bad guy and I couldn't help wondering how he felt about all of it. Two sides to every story, and I was left wanting to know his.
