It's excellent. The quality of the prose itself warrants a read, regardless of subject matter.
Yeah, it sounds girly and Oprah-y and all, but it's a memior of someone shattered by a divorce, and her subsequent journey to find herself. Gilbert reconnects first with pleasure, then spirituality, then finds balance. It's pretty universal.
