Although the reviews for this book were very good, I really did not like it at all.  In fact, I was happy when the book came to an end.  I did not like the main character who everyone in the book describes as "self-absorbed" including the main character's mother.  I am fine with reading about flawed characters but this main character was annoying, quick to make judgements but not when it counted.  I found the relationships btw the main character and the rest of the characters to not ring true or not well developed enough to understand their relationship.  I also found the pseudo spiritualism in the book to be very annoying and distracting.  If you want to read about a self-absorbed woman's spiritual journey that is funny and at least has good characters read " Eat, pray, love."  Not this book.  Sorry.
