Summary: Saga of a [woman in moral decline]
Review: For anyone who has ever asked questions about the way they live their life, especially in relation to others, this is a book to explore. Following Lili Wright as she examines the world inside and outside herself, you can feel the learning and growing amid the struggling. As one who struggles while learning and growing, especially when looking at the world from the inside-out, I appreciated her honesty and candor about her experiences.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The long journey for love....
Review: For anyone who has struggled to find, and hold on to, love (and who among us hasn't) this book is a great read. The author searches her soul (and psyche) and gives you her view from the drivers seat on the rollercoaster of love. The ups and downs of her love life are adventurous, sad, comical and utterly all to familiar.

She acknowledges her own shortcomings, as well as those of her suitors with grace and humor. We laugh with her as she flounders through her 20's and into her 30's. And ultimately Lili makes the journey we've all had to take. As she shares her experiences we can all see a little of ourselves in her travails. She's honest and funny. Read this book and recommend it to a friend who's also going through this struggle, they'll laugh, appreciate it and hopefully they'll be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel as well.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Learning to Float
Review: I started reading this book after I found it on the Barnes and Noble book club list. I just got done reading a very depressing book and I was in the mood for something light and happy and that is just what I found. Lili Wright has an awesome writting style that reminds me of one of my favorite shows, Sex and the City. Lili reveals her past relationship flaws and insecurities she has in order to find more about herlself and about love. She travels to all the places that she spent time with past flames and doing this she feels she will gain closure. This just creates more confussion and she realizes she needs to find out about herself and not about the past men in her life. I enjoyed this book but at times her life seemed a little too much like a soap opera. Read this book if your in the mood for a crazy romantic tale but I wouldn't recommend this book to someone who doesn't like a lot of drama. I would give this book 3 stars.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A journey worth enjoying
Review: The author's journey of reminiscing while finding her way felt wonderfully familiar. As a woman the same age, I found myself feeling as though we had so much in common, yet wishing I could have put my own memories to paper the way that she has. Lili has a wonderful way of writing, a whimsical and lyric way of describing things.
Sprinkled through the book, every chapter or so, there is an account of a conversation with "Grampy" on the porch in Maine. I eagerly looked forward to each one, usually finding myself chuckling out loud at his probing questions and humorous insights.
I found myself looking forward to going a little way on Lili's adventure every night, after my kids were in bed. There is just enough sex to make it a definitely grown-up book, somewhat "Sex in the City"ish and very hip . A good read for those of us who have had our adventures, and have moved on, but still have fun reminiscing. This is a book to be slowly enjoyed and savoured.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Saga of a [woman in moral decline]
Review: What begins as a promising self-study lapses into old war stories of late-teen bed hopping, drugs, and aimless amorality. Only a puerile mind could care about how Lili gets herpes and loses her self-respect.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Inspirational Journey
Review: Wonderful! Wonderful, Wonderful! This is a rare book that will occupy your thoughts for days and touch every emotion! I found myself laughing out loud quite often and crying as well, You may even see yourself in this book at times! Lili is an exceptional storyteller! So much so that I didn't want the book to end. She will take you away with her on a soul searching journey that will leave you wanting more. Run don't walk to get this book!
