It gave zero depth into her travels, and what she “learned” sounds like what she thinks we want to hear. Rather than stay at home heartbroken, she grabs a backpack and travels solo through Europe to heal her heart from the men who shattered her world and discovers that self-love is far more life-changing than anything she could’ve imagined. While I didn't get to take an epic Europe adventure I think we can all relate to what one goes through to move on and forget something. Fourth: She claims she is on a journey of accepting herself solo and where she is at buttttttt it is pages and pages of “I met this guy and he reminded me of another guy I have unresolved feelings for so I fucked him” repeatedly. She kept saying that Javier breaking up with her “wasn’t like him” but like… you’ve known him for a month.

Not every single bit of it, especially when it comes to the book, but it's one of the few contemporary books that I have rated 5 stars. Like going to lunch with that friend, I found myself looking forward to the ending and doing anything else. It was all just her own feelings, in her own head, set against a backdrop of places that should have been vivid and vivacious. 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.this is not a story of resilience, it's a story of a rich, white woman dealing with things that tons of people deal with every day with more grace.
