![]() Not only is this incredible by itself, but it’s made more incredible by the fact that Torre was very afraid of deep water. ![]() So in this book, Torre DeRoche tells the story of how she ended up sailing across the Pacific Ocean with her boyfriend, Ivan. Also, I think it was a good lesson on how to determine when you’re ready- for a move, for a job change, for whatever. And it was a very good examination of relationships, and how sometimes it’s not easy to reconcile the long term goals and dreams of two different people. Much of “Love With a Chance of Drowning” was about overcoming fears, or at the very least learning to live with them. ![]() And not just in the I-would-love-to-quit-my-job-and-travel-the-world way. Okay, but all silliness and pettiness aside, I was very inspired by her story. I mean, she walks into a bar, approaches an attractive guy that just so happens to be a sexy Argentinean man, and not only does their drunken hook-up turn into a real, meaningful relationship but she ends up sailing halfway around the world with him! For me, personally, I would be completely and totally happy with about one of the above, let alone all of them! Torre DeRoche is one lucky woman, and I would do anything for her to show me her ways! ![]() ![]() Actually, if I’m going to be really honest I’ll say that I was immensely jealous about twenty pages in, and my envy only grew throughout the remainder of the book. To be perfectly honest (and petty), I’m immensely jealous of Torre DeRoche after reading her memoir. ![]()
