This just came across like a total whine-fest to me. Every other page, she's bursting out into tears, curling up into a ball, etc etc. Is she critically ill? Did she lose a loved one? Is she 300lbs overweight? No, she's a 30-something statuesque blonde and she just got PAID to take a year off to travel to India, Italy and Bali (was it Bali? I can't remember--insert island paradise here--)after SHE decides to dump her husband. Poor thing, huh? Along the way she somehow charms all manner of persons to come to her rescue, as the reader struggles to get to the end. Oh, and the end.... just wait and see what her "epiphany" is....geez...
