I was compensated for this BlogHer Book Club review but believe me, all opinions expressed are my own. I am certain that you’ll devour it in a couple days sitting under an umbrella on the beach. I loved this book and recommend it as a summer read. The book is good in the way that Eat, Pray, and Love is. Her work has been published in thirty-two countries, and five of her novels, including The Last Thing he Told Me, have been optioned for film and television. This position offers Annie the possibility of becoming a global lifestyle expert. Laura Dave is the 1 New York Times bestselling author of several critically acclaimed novels including The Last Thing He Told Me, Eight Hundred Grapes and The First Husband. Because she is very good at what she does she is offered a corner office position with a British mega publishing concern. The love story is interwoven into another plot line about Annie’s job as a travel columnist. I don’t want to give the love story line away. He does and after gathering her wits some hours later, guess what: she meets someone with whom she shares an immediate connection. When the story begins Annie’s longtime boyfriend Nick is about to break up with her. This seems like a simple story but the author managed to hold my attention with her writing and a story line that is complicated by several characters who all seem not to know what they want in life. Her journey is to identify the one place that feels like home, somewhere she wants to stay put. The protagonist is a travel writer of a column called ‘Checking Out.’ Through observations while visiting different countries, she comes to understand what freedom means.
This book, the first that I have read of three she has written, asks rather profound questions about one’s place in life. Laura Dave, author of the The First Husband is now my new best friend in my head.
