I can't even express the caliber of profound hatred I felt for Elizabeth while reading Eat Pray Love, which might be one of the most privileged, most navel-gazing wastes of time I've ever read. (That is SAYING SOMETHING, because I read Lena Dunham's book too; apparently, I don't learn.) I am angry that trees died for that book and that it kept Julia Roberts employed.

She divorced her second husband and now she's in love with her best friend.
If I'm the best friend I'm in this for the money because I know she's going to leave me and write a stupid-ass book about it.Â
No....I read this book and felt so much loathing towards this woman i could not explain it. The only reason I finished it is bc I frickin spent money on it and I refuse to not finish a book I spend money on.
Although saying that, if you can write a whole book about how hard you had to work to convince yourself to get married, it's probably not a shock that it didn't work out.

Right. Like, way to do all that introspection and still be dumb about it.
I hated this book and I didn't even read it. I just saw the movie previews and hated it on principle.
I sincerely wish I had that insight before I picked up that book and orange is the new black, hated piper, and how to be single which was really just eat pray love with more sex. Note to self: no more memoirs.
I knew nothing about it. My new boss recommended it so I bought it. I read one chapter and I'm like Wtf is this drivel. I was furious. I felt violated. Hosed.

It took me at least 3 tries to start this book and the only reason I powered through was because of all the hype. Crying on the floor of her perfect house, in a perfect marriage only because she didn't want kids or to move to the suburbs. I can't even remember. What an insufferable bitch. And the luxury of having the money to just travel and "discover" herself. She is so relatable!
She needs to be friends with Glennon Doyle of Momastery. She's on tour promoting a book about staying with her husband after infidelity. She filed for divorce two weeks before the tour started.
(Note: I have no problem with women staying or going in a marriage. It's the intense public navel gazing that makes me gag)
