I am head-over-heels in love with this book. I feel better for having read it, but I also feel inspired. This book is a hug and a therapy session wrapped in one. It's been a pleasure indeed.

This book talks about a lot of serious topics that i enjoyed seeing represented, including body image/ fatphobia/ miscarriage/ IVF. There is queer rep, with the main character being attracted to multiple genders (no label given), and supporting characters also on the rainbow - however, sexuality isn't a topic.
This is a story about a steamy fling turned romantic relationship, with loads of conversations about what self-love is and how to practice it - if that's your thing, read this book! There's plenty of deep moments (see topics above), accompanied by a bunch of loveable characters and a handful of antagonists. Throughout the book, Noni figures out what her life could be and what life she really wants to live
I really thought this was going to be a 5 star read, but the story was completely different from what I imagined, so while I enjoyed it, I didn't love it.
I was really excited about a travel-around-the-world, figuring-yourself-out, having-fun book. Alas, this was a world tour, the same way most US performers do a "world tour": they do a couple cities in the UK and, if you're lucky, Amsterdam, and that's it. As Europe-exploration was the big pull-in for me, the lack of travel really impacted my enjoyment of it. This is no fault of the book, it just made the book not for me.

Take Eat, Pray, Love; remove the prayer; add in sex positivity; and voila!

It frustrated me that so much of Noni's quest for pleasure and self-acceptance seemed to revolve around getting drunk and having sex with random strangers (even when she didn't especially want to). This one missed the mark for me.

Like a sexier, Australian, queer Bridget Jones. But with more depth, joy and body positivity.
