It seems to me this woman is lucky her book came out before they decided it would be a good idea to fact-check memoirs. It seems like her "perfect" trip involved a lot of fictionalizing. I read parts of it, as much as I could stand, and frankly if I rolled my eyes any more often, they would have become affixed in the back of my head.
I, like another reader, wonder how "debilitiating" her depression was if she scored a book deal and took a trip around the world. That doesn't sound like any depressed, introspective, genuinely substantial people that I know.
If I want to read a lot of truly awful, self-congratulatory crap from an overprivileged, self-obsessed bozo, I'll read Ayelet Waldman. And I avoid her like a bladder infection!!
