a short read, but was a little slow in the middle for me so i got stuck for a while. overall, i do recommend this book for others. when i finished it, i felt inspired and hopeful that i will some day realize my own personal legend and be able to help others along the way.

i didn't realize this book had such negative reviews, but i agree with some that we should still think critically about everything we read. this book was written a while ago, but i do wish it wasn't framed so that Fatima's personal legend was basically being a desert woman that awaits her male lover her entire life. however, i do believe in how the universe conspires to help you achieve what you want in life, so if you believe in this too then you will enjoy it

a book that was hard to put down because I was so eager to keep uncovering and revealing, bit by bit, what alice had forgot! i was very satisfied with the ending. there were definitely moments that were heart-wrenching, like finding out who Frannie had been writing to this whole time and learning that she had lost her love just a few days before her wedding. i really liked the characters and their developments. i liked how alice ended up not choosing to go with either her new or old self, but rather a mix of both. she was able to find that small piece of her old self that was enjoyable, but adapt to her new self which is more practical with the life that she has now. the last chapter recalling all of those memories she only had bits and pieces of throughout the book were very satisfying to finally know the whole story. The author was able to show us how relationships go south so easily, yet so complex, but I am sure readers who are or have been in relationships can relate very much to the arguments that were had between alice and nick. a fun and and relaxing read!
