[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, she is quite the navel gazer. But I also find her to be sincere and a pretty good writer. I liked EPL and for all of you who hated it, would you have hated it as much if it was a little obscure book you happened upon? I think a lot of people hate the fame surrounding that book.
This is quite a dramatic turn in her life but the Facebook sounded real to me. She has no kids so she is not breaking up a family and she is going public with the sort of thing that most people keep to themselves. I didn't take it to mean she was discovering she was gay, but that she was in love with this particular woman. [/quote]

The thing about EPL is it NEVER could have been an obscure little book.[b] She got a $200k advance for it which is how she was able to go to Italy and India and Bali to even write the book[/b]. The whole thing was plotted and calculated. And yes, as an adult, I would roll my eyes at any adult woman who asks for s divorce, gets it, and then needs to devote an entire year to self-indulgence to cope with the choice. It was always juvenile and self absorbed, even if she's technically a good writer (and she is). Her material is just herself though and how did this make Liz feel? It gets old.

Her best friend is dying and that's awful but a healthy person doesn't assume that means they are a lesbian in love with their friend and get another divorce over it so they can be loud and proud for a few months til the friend dies. She is making such a spectacle and when her friend does die I hardly believe Liz Gilbert will continue living life as a lesbian. [/quote]

When I found this out shortly after reading the book, it explained so much.  [/quote]
