I expected a travel memoir. Not a recounting of the author’s escapades with various lovers she met while traveling. Made it through 44% of the book, when I realized the sex wasn’t a part of her story, but rather the whole story.

I really liked this book for what it is!!! It’s nothing serious, just a girl living her life (and running from her problems)!!! We all do it one way or another, and this bitch had fun with it!!!
As a fellow solo female traveler, I live for the stories. I did find it a little much how a sexual escapade was always wanted, because it’s a little much, but hey. It’s damn good entertainment and I can’t be mad at that. I loved reading her stories of the conversations she had, boys she talked to, and memories made. It’s the stuff I live for too so I get her and the desire for it fr. I’m a sucker for a good travel story 🤭
It was a lighthearted comedy read. It can make you feel reflective, but it’s not a therapy book and it’s a comedy. I loved it for what it is, get after it girl and I wish I would meet you in a bar abroad!!
Special note: Argentina is one of my favorite countries I’ve been to, so this one touched my heart a little extra 🥹

DNF at 38%. I have never felt more ace than reading this.
Honestly, there was fat phobia and mild racism. I looked up criticisms and others complained of soke racist undertones so I decided to tap out.
Speaking as someone who has heard all her life that she should "get married and have kids", otherwise my life will NEVER be fulfilled this book spoke to my soul! All I can say is if you are looking for an excuse to travel, or put your career first, or to just say F-you to all societal expectations and go have an adventure, this book will light a fire under in your soul. Kristin Newman tells her true and scandalous life in a humorous way while saying that it's your life do what you want with it!

I started out enjoying this book, but quickly grew tired of the author's voice and her stories. This may have made a better series of essays instead of an entire book. Or perhaps each chapter should have been shorter. Newman has some funny moments, but overall I wasn't that impressed. I also seriously disliked the ending - the entire "it's ok ladies, I found a man, so you will too" was obnoxious and patronizing.
