All Over the Map

This was a nice fun read. the book is mainly about the female main character who's career as a writer allows her to travel to multiple places around the world and write about different topics that interest or amuse her. We enter the story right around her 40th birthday where she has recently just gotten divorced and is trying to figure out where her life should go now that she is husbandless, no children, and not even a house to call her own. WE travel to multiple spots around the world with her and though the writing and description of the places she visits and food she eats is very fun to read her character herself seemed to drag. I understand how experiences such as divorce and getting older are unsettling but alot of the book was her focusing on just that and it seemed sort of whiny. Overall she ends up buying a cute little home in Mexico and becoming one of those amazing independent woman which is a great ending!

Good read, the experiences and good parts of the book far outweigh the slow progress of the evolving woman! I would def suggest it!
