Book Review:Eat, Pray and Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

Book Review: Eat, Pray and Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

This book starts out on the wild side; I thought it was fiction at it's highest reach!
The book is a journey of emotional ups and downs, of major life changes, and of travels through Italy, India and Bali. Gilbert used her journey to learn about God, love, pleasure, forgiveness and balance; (grounding).
Gilbert laughs, cries and learns how to endure life's deepest pains. She also learns how to love herself.
Is this a book you would read?
