This is by the author of Eat, Pray, Love which I had mixed feelings about. At the end of Eat, Pray, Love, the author, Elizabeth, starts dating a man. They are committed to each other but do not marry though because both of them had gone through messy divorces. However, Felipe, the boyfriend, gets stopped by the Department of Homeland Security and it's recommended that Elizabeth and Felipe get married so that they can settle in the US.
The couple spends about a year traveling around southeast Asia waiting for all of the immigration paperwork to go through so that they can both return to the US and get married. Meanwhile, Elizabeth has time to sort through all of her mixed feelings about the institution of marriage. And this is what the book is about.
I liked this book better than Eat, Pray, Love. Maybe it's because marriage has been on my mind lately. Or maybe it's because I found the author to be much more likeable than in Eat, Pray, Love. Either way, I enjoyed the book and the writing.
