What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding: A Memoir by Kristin Newman
4.0
The last three books I've read have all been very dark and intense. So, I was really in need of a palate cleanser after that. And here comes this book which is just about as different from dark and intense as a book could possibly be. This is a funny and warm hearted book about travel, something I love to do. It is also about the challenges of being single in your 30s and slowly realizing that you are just about the only single person left in your group of friends. That is also something I can relate to.
As someone who will very soon be spending a good six to eight weeks overseas, this book definitely gave me unrealistic expectations about what my trip will be like! Especially since I'll be going to some of the countries that she visits in this book. Here's hoping I'll have the same experience she did in those countries!
This book definitely reminded me of Eat, Pray, Love and Wild. Those just happen to be two books that I love so I guess I already had a soft spot in my heart toward this one. Is it the most well written and engaging book? No. But it wasn't going for that either. It is funny and sweet and poignant and I liked that aspect of it. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and am glad I read it. And now I am looking forward even more than I already was to my upcoming trips! Maybe I too will have a wild affair with a hot Argentinean man! A boy can dream, can't he?!
