But it also left me in a really tricky position moving forward as an author trying to figure out how in the world I was ever going to write a book again that would ever please anybody, because I knew well in advance that all of those people who had adored "Eat, Pray, Love" were going to be incredibly disappointed in whatever I wrote next because it wasn't going to be "Eat, Pray, Love," and all of those people who had hated "Eat, Pray, Love" were going to be incredibly disappointed in whatever I wrote next because it would provide evidence that I still lived.
Però alhora em va deixar en la difícil situació d'avançar com autora tractant de saber com m'ho faria per escriure un altre llibre que agradés a tothom, perquè jo ja sabia que totes aquelles persones a qui els havia agradat «Menja, resa, estima» es sentirien completament decebudes amb qualsevol cosa que escrigués perquè no seria «Menja, resa, estima», i totes aquelles persones que odiaven «Menja, resa, estima» es sentirien completament decebudes amb qualsevol cosa que escrigués perquè seria la prova de que continuo amb vida.
