Bad Tourist: Misadventures in Love and Travel by Suzanne Roberts

3.0

Suzanne Robert's incredible skill as a poet is present all throughout this absolute ride of a book. On every page I found myself highlighting a phrase or sentence simply for its beauty. On top of that, many of the anecdotes she shares, especially early on, got quite a few chuckles out of me, which is quite the achievement. Before I reached the half way point I began to be worried what the point of the book was meant to be for the reader. And upon finishing it, I am not sure I am able to answer that question. Was I supposed to gain anything from it, or was it just supposed to be a fun, quick read to be enjoyed and then put down? If the latter is true, then it certainly fulfilled its purpose. Otherwise, not so much for me.
