Eat, Pray, #FML

Product Information

It’s definitely a version of Eat, Pray, Love if you sub Pray with Party and Love with DTF, all of which are fine but a bit disingenuous. It is our intent and purpose to foster and encourage in-depth discussion about all things related to books, authors, genres, or publishing in a safe, supportive environment. You’re partying and drinking your way through Europe, pretty sure you are closer in age (and maturity) to these 23 and 24 year olds than you think. 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.

Elizabeth Gilbert almost immediately fell "in like" with David Piccolo, also an actor, who was much younger than she was but who introduced her to the yogi whose ashram Gilbert visited during the "Pray" section of the 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.

She partied with other Americans (or Canadians) across the major destination cities of Western Europe.

She shares text messages back-and-forth between her and her ex-boyfriend’s mother and sister, and it’s just so unbelievably embarrassing and awkward to read. She takes us on a journey around Europe and the most description we get is about her social media posts and how F***ing inspiring she is. And let me tell you, seeing her stories on this trip on her Instagram page made this feeling even stronger. But for real, the entire time reading this book, I literally just kept thinking, why is this a book?So I was on TikTok the other day and a funny video from this author showed up on my feed and something told me I had to check her story out.

She thinks more highly of the 35 year old who can’t communicate effectively just because “he’s a MAN” and he speaks 5 languages. Of course circumstances are different and instead I am reading journal entries instead of the others thought process, but has anyone gotten this same vibe from the two books? The whole book reads like my journal when I was 14 - “we did this and then we did that and it was so fun and then a cute boy smiled at me and then the sunset was beautiful. Irritatingly, if you want a "what happens next" there's a sequel although until the very last page there is no indication that this is not a standalone.

Immediately I did my book review on good reads and in my notepad as I always do, and started looking for my next book. If you're looking for help with a personal book recommendation, consult our Weekly Recommendation Thread, Suggested Reading page, or ask in r/suggestmeabook.

But I was cringing so hard about Javier and her being madly in love with him after only a few weeks and obsessing over him and even texting his mom and his sister who she had met briefly to discuss private details of her relationship with him when he had told her he only sees her as a friend. Not as obnoxious as constantly bringing up her blue checkmark on insta but only getting around 1200 likes per photo, but close. After a second failed attempt at love and a massive heartbreak, she decided that instead of landing flat on her ass—she’d make a career out of it. The level of concern that her family seems to carry for her matches the concern for a toddler going into Afghanistan.

It’s just page after page of her willingly making bad decisions, whining that they were bad decisions, and then having absolutely zero growth as a result of those bad decisions or consequences. The majority of women who read this book will at some stage feel the pain and know exactly what she has gone through. Every interaction she has with Javier seems fabricated and I actually rather read a book from his point of view.
