review 1: I give up!! I never give up before the end of a book, even if I hate it and complain about it. But I can't read any more of this. Around 60% through a book about quitting your job in your thirties for a simpler lifestyle and you still haven't addressed the obvious question of "How the hell are you supporting yourself without jobs?!?" The concept of not working isn't new. The issue of needing to pay for the necessities of life usually gets in the way. So I assumed the book would address how they solved that dilemma... but she never bothers to address it so I am just getting angry at the author. Are you telling me that at age 37, you had enough money to retire?!?! From working as a chiropracter?!? Does that education involve the $300K in loans that medical school does? Becau... morese I will be paying that off for 30 years and it makes quitting my job and moving to another country quite difficult. That just makes me hate wealthy chiropracters. I had tried to look past her obnoxious complaining spoiled narrative if there was something I got back for it. But I give up. If you enjoy snarky sarcastic humor that ridicules husbands, neighbors, and various other things, you may enjoy the book. But that isn't enough to hold my attention.
review 2: This woman has a wicked sense of humor! I laughed out loud many times while reading this book.There were times, though, that I wanted to know more about why she loves Costa Rica so much. She spends much of her story-telling on the trials and tribulations, but not enough for my taste on the lovely aspects of living this life. She tends to "mention" what she loves but not dwell there; the dwelling is in the conflicts, which can make for funny moments that don't necessarily dig deep.That said, I'm reading the sequel next! less
