Title: Rom Com Quality Book
Review: I just didn't care for this book. After reading it, I feel just like I've watched one of those solidly mediocre romantic comedies (after seeing about a million glossy promos): I'm disappointed in myself for falling for the hype, & irritated at having spent the time & money.Liz seems fun & funny--I can see why she makes so many friends throughout the course of her story--but I simply was not interested enough in her life or her journey to spend so much time with it, & didn't find her narrative voice compelling. I suspect the book only really resonates with people who can relate to her personal situation, which is too bad, since its premises (heartbreak, eating, connecting with God & others, finding love) hold universal appeal. I'll bet an excellent editor could have brought that out.As it stands, I wouldn't recommend EPL to anyone who is not recovering from divorce and/or deeply interested in eastern religion. Unless they enjoy rom com quality books.
