review 1: Although an entertaining read, this book does not live up to the promise of its opening situation. Emma's mom dies leaving her a ticket for a month long trip to Africa. She decides to go despite the warning from her boss at a high powered NYC law firm that this trip will set back her becoming partner in the firm by a year. While travelling, she becomes ill and is left with two American NGO workers Peter and Karen who are building a school in a small village. They are all cut off from the world by a major earthquake in the capitol and Emma returns to NYC after 6 months of communicating with no one. She discovers she is missing presumed dead from the earthquake as she attempts to resume her life. The first big clue is that a man Dominic is living in her apartment. This sou... morends like the set up to a total rethink, redo of her life which Dominic suggests. But noooooooo. Her job life begins to read like something out of The Devil Wears Prada. Her love life reads like any romance novel. I dare you to guess what man she ends up with. Even the trip into her past with her Mom's mystical friend Sunshine goes no where. As I said, entertaining but disappointing.
review 2: When Emma's mother dies, leaving her with a trip to Africa, she reluctantly takes leave of her high paced lawyer career to go on the month-long excursion. She gets stranded in a remote town after getting sick and an earthquake hits- for another several months. During this time, she's presumed dead, so when she finally makes her way home, her boyfriend moved on, her apartment has been leased to someone else, and her office was given to her rival. Emma has to pick up the pieces of her old life and integrate them with the lessons she's learned during her ordeal in Africa. I found this book fun- chick lit with a unique and intriguing story that I read in one sitting. less
