As I said before I liked Italy part and then Bali was also really good..
While reading India it was mostly her problems and recovering from them .. Spirituality which was kind of good too but the way she mentioned India (which was very less) is something I didn't like hence I didn't like India part much..
And the problems and complaint thing,
I have read many people complain and I could also relate to them but I couldn't with her.
.
I liked all the people she mentioned and liked them too but I couldn't like her and couldn't like her views on India.
It also made me realize that she has written her view of India and in same way She might have written view of Italy and Bali, i am reading about both for first time hence I might have liked it
.
Also I don't understand how it's spiritual journey if you just keep on eating whatever you want without bothering about weight...it's as good as hiding your pain behind food..(in Italy)
.
Also how to consider one chapter on vaginal infection due to excessive sex as Spiritual Journey ??
(That too when she had decided she wanted to be celibate for an entire year)
.
After checking out Google to know how her life is now I realized that this whole spiritual journey was waste.
Or maybe that journey was her excuse ..
She got back to same thing she was running away from in the beginning of the book..
.
In the book she has given many reasons to why she left her husband
And reality is a bit different ..
It seems like she tried to clear her image and give reasons to why she left her husband through this book .. and many of her response in interviews didn't help in changing her image formed in my mind ..
.
.
I loved Italy and I loved Bali and hence the 2 stars for those two ..
I also loved all the people she mentioned in the book..
.
I don't know whether mentioning things we find in Google will be considered as spoiler or not ...
It's upto you to decide ..
I putting it up here 👇

.
In this book, in Bali she meets this wonderful man and they fall in love and in next installment of the book says that they got married ..
And after that google says
She left him for another woman
Like she had left her first husband for another man..
.
I was really upset in knowing that she left this Bali guy. 😞
They had also sworn lifelong fidelity to each other 😬..
Some people might be ok with it
But I don't know I am not.
Not ok with cheating ever ..
.
I am not feeling good about this book and I will not read any more books by her.
I wanted to read city of girls but I know all she wants to say is it's ok to give time to yourself ..
But let me ask ...is it ok to have me time and leave your family behind ??
Is is ok to leave your family behind to achieve spiritual awakening ..?
Haven't we called that abandoning when Men did these things ???
.
She calls it self care and me time but truly it's her new attitude towards love, commitment, and marriage.
Well it seems her definition of commitment is different 😌..
