Summary

Can you survive your worst choices? How do you get through heartbreaking grief? Elizabeth Gilbert wrote her new novel, City of Girls, after a devastating loss. And yet — it’s a sexy, fun, rollicking book I couldn’t put down. In it, she attacks the antiquated idea of a ‘ruined woman’ by celebrating female desire and love. Her vulnerability in this conversation will give you insight on dealing with grief and how to approach each new life phase with openness. “You don't have to be a good girl to be a good person.” @GilbertLiz via @MarieForleo
