Despite a shiny new graduate degree, a dream job, and a great relationship, something felt terribly off in Kristin's life. With the weight of uncertainty riding high, she stumbled upon some reading materials that would inspire a complete upheaval of her current life path. To the shock of family and friends, Kristin quit her job, ditched almost all of her belongings, crowdsourced funds, moved into an old van named Gerty, and set out on the road in an effort to eat at and write about every single vegan restaurant in the United States. Join Kristin for the ultimate foodie-inspired road trip that spanned 2 years, 48 states, 547 restaurants, and more than 39,000 miles; and find out how it led to her unparalleled freedom, love, and amazing self-discovery.

I wish I‘d liked this book more, because the idea of traveling the country for a year and a half to visit every vegan restaurant in existence sounds amazing. While the premise is interesting, the story is more of a memoir of moments that aren‘t all related to the vegan food being eaten. I found the trajectory a bit non-linear.

Somewhere between a pick and a so-so. 3.5 ⭐️

This is a #TBR for my #litsyreadingchallenge this year. As a #vegan, I'm lucky to live within 15 miles of NYC, but even luckier to have vegan options without crossing the GWB.

7 years ago, still a new vegan, I took a road trip to South Dakota. One night we stayed in a small town in Wyoming, and visited the pizza place on the Main Street. I had a veggie pie, no cheese. Italian restaurant? Close enough 😉

I was so excited to read this, but it was just okay. Not enough travel and food info, too much maybe-trying-to-be-a-little-like-Eat-Pray-Love. But I did love her description of her time in Portland. It reminded me of my love for it and gave me a great list of places to try when I'm there again! #ReadHarder2016

Disappointingly having some trouble getting into it, but I'm still hopeful!
