The spoiler is when Elizabeth masturbates to satisfy her lust. As a result from her doing, she gets affection to her genitals and has to get treatment.

4.      4. What did you learn from this story?

      From this book, what I can get is no matter how big your problem is, you should be able to overcome the problem from distracted your life. You should try the way that Elizabeth takes in order to forget about her problem which is her divorce. She travels to a few countries by herself. She spent four months in Italy, eating and enjoying life ("Eat"). She spent three months in India, finding her spirituality ("Pray"). She ended the year in Bali, Indonesia, looking for "balance" of the two and found love ("Love") in the form of a Brazilian businessman.

5.   5. If you were the author of the book, how would you end the story differently?

                  If I was the author of the book, I would end the story by Elizabeth having married to her boyfriend, Felipe and live happily together. The ending also will be interesting if Elizabeth having children in order to make her happy and completed her life as a woman.
