I grabbed my copy and - like ALL Elizabeth Gilbert reads - spent months reading it. When I was 25, I found myself life failing and living with my mom in her guest room, making some questionable decisions in an attempt to 'escape.' During this time, Eat Pray Love came out. When Sara's mom gets sick with cancer and passes away and leaves her entire legacy and the family's fortune in Sara's hands, it becomes a perfectly believable story of self-discovery. This is the Sara show, a massive pity party of poor Sara. She's so self-involved that her mother won't even tell her about her serious relationship. None of us are, but often with fictional characters, especially from the romance/chick-lit genre we expect them to be, or we hate them and move on. Keep everything, and make more! (I did see a comment on an Instagram review from Joani Elliott saying to expect more Sara in the future!) My continued thought was – maybe this should've been two books. Nothing dragged! If I had to go in and cut 100-150 pages of Sara Grayson, I'd never know where to start and what to cut.

Now here's where the surprises started coming in. So when it said it would take me somewhere around SEVEN hours to finish this book, and it took several pages to register on my percentage read, I started getting very concerned. I can live with that! The only information I could get was the percentage of book read and estimated time until the end of the book (no chapters, no page numbers, etc.) in this case, it was a miss, and the formatting got a little ugly. Thank you Netgalley, Post Hill Press and Joani Elliott for my gifted eARC in exchange for my honest review.Ī couple of things about entering the world of Sara Grayson, this was a Netgalley ARC, which can be hit or miss when transferring to the Kindle app.
