I read just over 1/3 of this book. I found the author's negative view on life to be a bit much. I'd heard that this book had a real "feel-good" vibe, but I found the author to be SO negative! Every time she mentioned her past, she had to go on and on about how bad it was, how much her divorce sucked, etc, etc. Maybe it's just because I couldn't identify with her experiences, or maybe it's because I am a very positive person, but I just wanted her to talk about her travels, and not about her past. I kept reading a little into the "pray" part, hoping that she was on the road to recovery, but it was more of the same, so I stopped reading.
