All- PLEASE read the book. It is SO much better than the movie, which is actually sort of antithetical to the spirit of the book. The book is about spirituality. The movie is about romance. The book helped me tremendously earlier in my separation (even though I was angry at the main character at the beginning). Just saw the movie, and yes, the men were gorgeous, but it gives the message that being in a relationship is what brings happiness. Totally wrong. Here's a fave quote from the book:
"When I get lonely these days, I think: So BE lonely, Liz. Learn your way around loneliness. Make a map of it. Sit with it, for once in your life. Welcome to the human experience. But never again use another person's body or emotions as a scratching post for your own unfulfilled yearnings." — Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love)
