"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

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
