review 1: Eh. Magazine fluff without a clear direction. Is it a memoir? Is it a how to? What is the point of the blue bike? I would have much preferred to read about the author's life as an expat in Turkey, as that is clearly her passion, not the simple, intentional life as she claims. I like that her family knows what is important to them but let's not call that simple or a slower pace of life...jetting around wherever and whenever the whim takes you is not that.
review 2: I got this as a 99 cent Kindle daily deal because some of my favorite bloggers recommended it and I enjoy The Art of Simple well enough. I like the idea of living with intention. My crunchy predilections aspire to slow food cooking and homeschooling and debt-free living. But I only wish I could be thi... mores earnest. I say this as a deracinated millenial, but It was the intentional deracination that rubbed me the wrong way and struck me as actually increasing chaos. I know Tsh's family discovered intentional living as expats but her recommendation to cultivate limitless flexibility seems to undermine her desire to live intentionally in community. I'm also glad she addressed the money question and she addressed it well. Living intentionally also means budgeting intentionally to allow her family to take these far-flung trips which gave a little more credence to the "anyone can travel" attitude of the book.Anyway, I probably had too many thoughts on this since I read most of it during middle of the night nursing. less
