This was an interesting glimpse into the life of a model, who survived a horrible natural disaster and lost the love of her life. Sometimes it was a little too much information.

The book is a quick read, however there were parts that seemed almost juvenile. It was interesting to read about her culture and upbringing in the Czech Republic, particularly the bits about life in a communist country, when she was a child.

She does a nice job explaining the kindness of the Thai people and the devastation of the area. I wanted her to fight more to see the love of her life or find out what happened to him, however this was a place where the answers only come with time. She focuses a lot on energies, directed both internally and to others. This is part of the reason she believes she healed so fast.

I really felt for her ex Donaes, who seemed to get left in the dust after a 4 year relationship. I cannot imagine what she went through with all of the traumatic events.
