"I've always had a deep aversion to this book... And little wonder. As I started reading, it's the story of me, almost verbatim.
A divorced woman, disillusioned by her own successes... Getting everything that she never really wanted. Losing everything that in her mind, defined her.
In a world that tells us what to want, in order to be a "good woman".... I suspect this story belongs to many women." — Jan 20, 2018 02:14AM

"Sometimes it ain't fair. Sometimes it just sucks. Yes I agree... F*ck positivity... And fuck trying to mind f*ck ourselves with a bunch of insipid cliches. Telling someone to "think positive" when they're dying of personal agony... Is just psychotic.
I love this effing book already!" — Dec 27, 2017 08:19PM

"I so identify with this author's desire to experience a different reality firsthand, to immerse and to blend into a lifestyle that is foreign. It's a kind of tourism all its own, but with the capacity to change everything about a person, everything you thought you knew about life. I'm fascinated with this period in history and place, I'm so grateful that somebody took the time to write with this perspective." — Mar 19, 2017 08:02AM

“Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.”

“The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.”
