Eat, Pray, #FML

Product Information

A year and a half into our marriage, I found out my husband had been having an affair with a 19-year-old for six months. I filed for divorce and left. And I have to stipulate that I just skimmed the second half. Turned it into a sort of drinking game: She shared her story through her book named Eat, Pray, #FML, which she published on 22 June 2019. After divorce with Ignacio, she met a man and fell madly in love. The man convinced her to join him for a month-long vacation in Italy but told her that he has to go by himself a couple of hours before getting on a plane. Her use of colloquial language, her complaints about gaining weight while travelling (which is VERY normal or any girls interested in travelling - don’t feel bad about that), and her descriptions of partying and pining over her ex read like a mildly entertaining travel diary where she simply just blogs what she did, where she went, and who she met while she gets over a broken heart.

to summarize: “I can’t believe a guy I’m flirting with is confessing his love for me. This is so unexpected. I thought we were just friends!” Well, the prominent actor is possible a single man as of 2020. He remains quite secretive towards his personal life and currently living a low-key profiled life. It seems like he is presently focused on his own life rather than being active in dating life and relationship. Read on to learn more about the author, entertainer, and Amphy collaborator Gabrielle Stone. What is the book Eat, Pray #FML about? The entire universe revolves around me and literally every single thing that happens is because the Universe is trying to tell me what I should do with my love life. Example 1: She hears a song in Bali? It's because the Universe wants her to be with Tyler. She learns this ancient Hawaiian practice at a quiet retreat? It's pointing her to Tyler. Her best friend calls her while she is halfway across the world and their entire conversation revolves around... TYLER. She meets two people who happen to be the same ethnicity as Tyler and it is a SIGN. Example 2: She seems to think the audio engineer who recorded her audiobook had his life changed by her story and was just enamored with her charm and wit. It's giving "the waitress is flirting with me because she likes me." Example 3: Javier and Tyler show up to the same audition. That's it.This creative force of nature used extraordinary grief and hard-won lessons from her real life to inspire her next creative adventure. Stone self-published the memoir Eat, Pray, #FML in 2019 to tell the story of discovering her husband’s affair, then being dumped soon after by a new love. The first few chapters hooked me. Who doesn’t love a women who filed for divorce before her husband gets home and watches him be served with them? Who doesn’t love that powerful female? But she spent the entire trip trying to figure out whether her relationship with Javier was on again or off again. 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. How she found the time and the coordination to write in her journal, which eventually became this book, I don't know.

Stone married at a young age into what she thought was a happy, lifelong union. Unfortunately, Stone’s husband unceremoniously divorced the multi-hyphenate performer, leaving her once again in a state of grief. Her trip to Europe was not very interesting and seemed like she spent most of that time drinking and partying with random people she met, combined in wallowing in self pity and being self absorbed. By the point I stopped reading, I really didn't like her very much. I particularly find it cringey how she talked about all her social media posts with inspirational quotes and apparently she got a ton of messages from people who felt moved by them and she kind of tried to make this a self help book and act like she knows what she's doing. I would not take life advice from someone who acted the way she did with Javier and his family. 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. But I just don't care. There is probably a target audience for this book but I definitely don't fit that audience and would not recommend this book.Babbel —For a limited time, FML listeners can get 55% off your Babbel subscription when you go to Babbel.com/FML If you don’t want to feel emotion for a woman who wants to make sense of her life, this book is not for you. I am Not Like Other Girls. Example 1: This girl wants so badly to be special and unique. She keeps casually dropping that she's doing this film or that film, but she's a D-list actor. She waxes poetic about how she has changed people's lives with her book and that she has been put on this earth to show other women that they can survive heartbreak. She doesn't actually give advice or useful information, she just cries over this dude she's known for 6 weeks. Example 2: I'll just let this quote from her book speak for itself: "When I'm not trying to flirt with someone, I talk the same way I talk to my good friends. I call them dude, don't really filter anything I'm saying, and might even be described as 'not ladylike.'" Example 3: Another quote: "Want to know how you're really over someone? Have a random run-in, with zero makeup on, wearing elephant pants and some shitty old tank top that shows you probably didn't shower that day. Couldn't, have cared, less." She is literally the first person to ever go out in public looking like a mess. What a revolution.
