Eat. Pray. Love.

Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia by Elizabeth Gilbert

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
I know a lot of people didn't like this. And by that I mean my mom. But I ate it up! I loved following Liz along her journey. In Italy, I was sitting there pigging out on bread and pasta with her. In India I felt myself craving a 'renewal' of sorts, a chunk of time devoted to meditating and eating healthy food and just nourishing myself. And in Indonesia, I lived in the house in the jungle and was all too sad to leave when the book ended. There are a few parts in the beginning of the book that seriously BROKE me down. I found myself crying and frantically wondering exactly how she managed to write about MY heartaches so poignantly. I grew to love Liz, and as she searched and searched for 'everything,' I kept screaming in my head: I KNOW THE TRUTH! I KNOW WHAT CAN FIX YOU! I KNOW.

At the end, however, she actually mentioned a Utahn friend of hers, so I was left with some hope that she had at least been acquainted with the idea of Mormonism.
