Drinking the Rain Reviews

3.5
“Abandoned after part one. I just couldn't read the word nubble one more time. Or endure the preachiness "I find every meal I prepare for myself an opportunity." Sadly, her lessons won't be my lessons.”
“I hated this book so much it doesn’t get the dignity of star emojis. I STRUGGLED through this. I’m all for soul-searching, spending time with yourself, getting uncomfortable, etc. but I feel like the author has never allowed herself any time to do anything for herself. Absolutely would not recommend, although the concept of living alone for a summer in a little shack on the beach sounds great to me, I’d just be less dramatic about it.”
