No Baggage: A Minimalist Tale of Love and Wandering by Clara Bensen
3.0
Would you spend 21 days in Europe, with no clear plan, and no baggage? Clara Bensen did just that...with her new boyfriend, found thru an online dating service...right after she's come out of a major depression. The grandmother in me wanted to shake her...the reader kept going to see if she continues her recovery.
One dress, two changes of underwear, a toothbrush...and her passport.
The book is two kinds of travelogue...one, the trip itself, but the other, the more compelling, is her travelogue thru her own mental illness and her recovery. I rooted for this girl to right the ship, and to find her worth. i cared about her.
For me, neither travelogue was riveting. My major question was 'would these two strangers be together at the end of the trip?' And I did get that answer.
Another book to add to the collection of 'living with mental illness--living through mental illness.'
