It's not you, geography, it's me

Chambers, Kristy2014
Books
In this hilarious--and brutally honest--memoir about mental illness and depression, Kristy Chambers goes in search of greener grass and finds that, if she could only cut her head off, she would probably enjoy travel and life. For someone who hates exercise, Kristy Chambers is pretty good at running away, and coming back again when her credit cards are declined. She's not so much an international jetsetter as a loose cannon with a passport. So, in the manner of "Eat, Pray, Love," a privileged white girl takes her privileged white arse on the road in an attempt to find happiness. With a family history of mental illness that goes back generations and a complicated long-term relationship with depression, will eating all the pasta in Italy help her to find the silver lining she's looking for? Of course it won't. It's pasta, not magic beans. Joined by the most unreliable travel companion of them all--her mental health--Kristy openly, honestly, and humorously recounts their adventures together.
