Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert


Anna Here:
I just finished Eat, Pray, Love a few days ago. I really enjoyed it. It is non-fiction, but felt like a good fiction novel. It is about a miserable, depressed, 30-something woman who decides to pull her life together. She does this by spending 4 months in Italy exploring "pleasure", 4 months in India learning how to grow closer to God, and 4 months in Bali where she learns about love. The author is funny, and I really enjoyed her journey. Her Italy experience made me hungry! I also liked her understanding of the nature of God and how we each need to slow down a bit in our crazy lives to feel that love and share that love. I enjoyed it and would recommend this book.
