Eat Pray Love Made Me Do It is a collection of short stories (and I mean REALLY short, as in 5 pages "short") of how reading the book Eat Pray Love has impacted the authors' lives.

I LOVE Eat Pray Love! It is one of my favorite books. But this book blew; it really did! Every. Story. Felt. The. SAME! Which truly was sad to me.

I would say that 90% of the stories focused on unhappy marriages or self-sabbatage. Yes… Gilbert's failed marriage was part of Eat Pray Love but it wasn't the whole book. In fact, Gilbert goes out of her way in Eat Pray Love NOT to harp on why she left her ex-husband. I felt like I was reading too much about women complaining about their marriage and not enough about how Eat Pray Love made them discover new realities about themselves (separate from others).

I still like the concept of this book. I wish that they would do a Part II but pick five stories (maximum), really dive deep, and diversify the stories more.
