This book was so interesting. It's about a woman who feels unmoored in her life, so she pretends to go on vacation, but really disguises herself and spys on her own life (friends, husband, etc.). She is trying to understand how her life has become the way it is. The whole premise is fasinating. To become an outside observer of your own life to determine, without emotional attachment, if you really like the person you've become. There are some very funny scenes, but most of the book is about soul-searching and personal evolvement.
