Since you ask about EPL, I just wanted to point out that when Elizabeth Gilbert feels that her marriage won't work out (and she never really explains why, just all the gut-wrenching pain & misery she feels as a result), she starts by diving into an affair. I just wanted to warn you about that, because I know what a sensitive area it is to all of us here!
The book is an easy read, and has useful parts for anyone who is turning her life around, but if you're likely to be frustrated by a writer who is totally caught up in the minutia of her own emotions, you might be better off with the movie than the book....
