Liked it. Fun and kind of funny. Good writer. Plot in a sentence: A writer is sent to India to research/write a for-dummies style book about reaching enlightenment, staying at a completely commercialized,big business ashram. Can maybe recommend to the [b:Eat, Pray, Love|19501|Eat, Pray, Love|Elizabeth Gilbert|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1269870432s/19501.jpg|3352398] crowd looking for a novel, but I liked this take on it all better (no one would go on Oprah and talk about their life changing experiences after this -- and that is immensely refreshing; it's just a well-written story). ( )

Lets be clear, if you are in the mood for some quintessential chick lit, this time about yoga, this may be precisely what you are looking for. This is Brigit Jones goes to India. Twenty something woman trying to find her feet in the world takes a commission to write a book about the ashrams of India. Travels around meeting people and making amusing mistakes while obsessing about why her boyfriend wont commit. Bing.

If this sounds like fun, you will enjoy this book. It is well written and amusing. If this sounds annoying, you will hate this book. It will be unbelievably annoying. All about what you are looking for really.

Turns out this wasn't what I was looking for. I thought I'd try something lighter after a spate of books where a bunch of people die, but this one was just wrong for me. I think I'm done being amused by self conscious girls who can't get themselves together but everybody thinks they are just so adorable falling over their feet that in the end it all works out okay. I just wanted to hit her with something large. Over and over.

Ah well. ( )

Funny and entertaining. Easy to relate to. ( )

This book was an interesting one, for ladylit (as I like to call chick lit)...the characters were more well-drawn than ones I have read before, and the serious and somewhat melancholy tone of the work were what set it apart from others of its ilk. A nice rainy day read. ( )

Everyone needs a little chic lit from time to time. The main character in this book is believably dumb. You watch her go from one bad decision to the next, all the time hoping she pulls her act together. The book was actually longer than I expected, and in true chic-lit form has a happy ending. It is the perfect “lounging by the pool on a hot afternoon” kind of read. ( )
