i don’t know what to do with these “funny but extremely problematic” memoirs i keep listening to
I didn't like the stories or the style. I think I'm not the target audience.
I wanted to like this more than I did. Sometimes was funny, sometimes entertaining, sometimes poignant, but overall meh. Wanted more travel or new life changing adventures. Instead was okay I went somewhere partied, sometimes met a guy, went home, didn't like any guys there, repeat. But given that it wasn't extraordinary she was quite relatable and it was a nice easy fun read.
For a travel memoir, there's surprisingly very little substance in her anecdotes. This is a book for people whose idea of traveling is checking places and names off a list.
As a sex and relationships memoir, it does a lot better, although there's still that "checklist" feeling (even with the long-term relationships she recounts). It also would have been nice if the various essays were better connected, considering that they all had the same theme. Still, the author is pretty funny (I can see why she did so well as a sitcom writer) and there are definitely some moments that will make you laugh.

One of my favorite things about books is that they give you an opportunity to experience a life that is so different from your own. This book was exactly that for me. I have not had any real single woman experiences since I was married at 18 so this whole book was vastly different than my reality. It was interesting to read about Kristen's experiences, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend this to people. It had a lot of language and talked a lot about sexual encounters. My favorite part was the chapter about Israel. I actually learned quite a lot about Israel from that chapter and not just Kristen's travels. I'm glad that Kristen found her happy ending.
DNF @page 92. I just couldn’t with this. I wanted adventures in nature and cities not in bedrooms.
Maybe I struggled with this because it’s so unrelatable—rich people problems and “exotic lovers” just seems so strange to me that I found myself a little bored. It was sweet at times, but overall just eh.
