Eat, Pray, #FML

Product Information

For anyone who’s gone through love, divorce, heartbreak, or needs to learn to love themselves and take their damn power back. She partied with other Americans (or Canadians) across the major destination cities of Western Europe. Literally less than an hour ago I finished what seems like the same exact book just a different location. He sounds like a complete asshole, but she doesn’t really reflect on her role in the marriage, it was just something that happened to her and she doesn’t reflect on why she would marry someone for seemingly surface level reasons and expect it to work out? But where i got even more lost was with the ‘I’m going to get so fat’ or the mention of fucking calories.

I get that it’s supposed to be a journey of self discovery but a little interest in other people would be refreshing. 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. 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. She kept me captivated from cover to cover and made me evaluate my own life’s choices each step of the way.I honestly don’t know how this became a book and had to check if it was self-published because I honestly cannot imagine any publisher or any publishing house reading this and thinking, “we can make money from this.

She really could have turned this into something big, but with each page I turned, the more I realized that the author just wants to talk about herself. Every interaction she has with Javier seems fabricated and I actually rather read a book from his point of view. One woman's journey through love, marriage, divorce and how she decides to change her own life afterwards.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. We get it, you told the “short version” of your story (yeah right) and their eyes widened and their jaws dropped. But for real, the entire time reading this book, I literally just kept thinking, why is this a book? The celebrity name dropping, the shock and awe of others finding out she is verified on Instagram, the famous parents, the constant talk of movie projects she is working on, the mind onion, the inability to take responsibility for her own actions, the constant contradictions, the fat shaming… I felt like I was reading a 13 year old’s journal and I need to put it back in its hiding place forever.

And she partied her way through London, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Mykonos, Rome, and Sicily, drinking everyone under the table and stumbling home at daylight almost every single day. The level of concern that her family seems to carry for her matches the concern for a toddler going into Afghanistan. Not every single bit of it, especially when it comes to the book, but it's one of the few contemporary books that I have rated 5 stars. Even someone she obviously did not want to have sex with, she still went to his apartment and faked the big O! When fans around the world demanded more, the highly anticipated sequel, The Ridiculous Misadventures of a Single Girl, and the podcast FML Talk were born—and Gabrielle soon realized that her broken heart had bloomed a movement.I’m not sure why there are so many bad reviews on this book because I felt that Gabrielle was very open and honest with her experiences. Thought this book would be more inspiring and really be about moving on after unfortunate circumstances (like divorce) however it was disappointing and annoying to see her fall in love so fast and then complain and dwell on problems with the new guy throughout the entire book instead of focusing on fun and the amazing opportunity to travel and meet new people. Not only do I think this reads like an extended, self-gratifying, self-promoting Facebook post, but Gabrielle’s consistent fat/food shaming made me want to scream and horrified me. I suppose a book about a rich actress who gets her heart broken and goes on a month trip to Europe wouldn’t t be as appealing. But if you are looking for a book that is very shallow in nature, no character development, not really even about self love, but mostly about a girl who struggles with a break up by going to Europe, partying all night, drinking all day every day, eating food, making out and sleeping with other people, but not being able to actually sleep, while complaining how fat she was going to get, then this book is for you!

To be honest, I am currently 68% of the way through the book currently and contemplating if I will finish it or not. So I needed to tell you again, that your story, your attitude and all your words help people all over the world. Esempio: se il prossimo ciclo di fatturazione inizia il 7 ottobre e cancelli il 20 settembre, potrai comunque continuare ad ascoltare tutti i contenuti fino al 7 ottobre.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). Gabrielle goes through a pretty typical cheating–turned–divorce situation and then, the next day after serving her husband divorce papers, meets a new man and falls immediately into a new relationship.
