It simply was a happy cliche ending without evidence or anecdotes for doing any of the self love work beyond her ‘thought onions’, which were a good promise on her path. However, the whole book (so far) is about how heart broken she is over Javier, yet she is constantly sleeping and making out with other people.

And let me tell you, seeing her stories on this trip on her Instagram page made this feeling even stronger. I cried and sympathized with her because if you have ever had your heartbroken, you feel for anybody who has experienced something similar - and you will feel that in the beginning stages of her story. It was all very, and then we did this, and then we did that, and then he said this, and then I ate that. I'm going to assume the author ends up with him after all this or else he wouldn't have been such a big focus of the book. The author’s uses the word F*** much like a middle schooler on a bus would, frequently and to feel somewhat special or superior.I’m not saying she needs to go to those places to tell and interesting story, but 16-year-olds go on spring break go to London, Amsterdam, and Paris with twice as much bravery and half as much melodrama. I'm starting to wonder if I somehow accidentally added this as I was scrolling because this didn't seem like a book I'd like very much, and it turns out I didn't.

I am counting this toward my reading goal even though I didn't finish because the last few chapters before I gave up were a slog. Okay, let me say right up front that I am one of those people who likes Eat, Pray, Love, both the book and the movie. Each new person that she introduced to the book, she told them her story of her ex husband and Javier.

But nevertheless can I relate so much, since similar things have happened to me the past year and I just kind of feel a connection. But I had no way of visualizing or experiencing it for myself because there was no actual description.

Like she was desperate to end things with some sort of sage advice, that doesn't actually connect with her journey's plot line at all. Okay, so Gabrielle and Javier had only been together for a couple of months, but according to Gabrielle they were the best months of her life and Javier was the love of her life. While I didn't get to take an epic Europe adventure I think we can all relate to what one goes through to move on and forget something. She’s a famous actress (according to her but not her IMDB), a brave and enlightened spiritual soul (I mean, she did go see a psychic), and now a daring adventurer (guys, she literally went to Amsterdam and did a pub crawl, and it was raining). Like going to lunch with that friend, I found myself looking forward to the ending and doing anything else.We get it, you told the “short version” of your story (yeah right) and their eyes widened and their jaws dropped.
