I finished this book today. First Comes Love, Then Comes Malaria is the author, Eve Brown-Waite's, personal journey through Ecuador and Uganda. She begins as a Peace Corps volunteer, falling in love with her recruiter. She leaves for her two- year commitment in Ecuador, but leaves early due to unexpected circumstances. However, she gets a second chance at third-world living when her husband gets a job offer in Uganda.
The book is funny and interesting, but at times drags. I enjoyed it and finished it, but I didn't love it. It's not a book that I would re-read, or that I would consider one of my favorite books. If you like to travel, or enjoy reading about others travels, you'll enjoy it. Be warned, there is some cussing. Not a ton, but the occasional word seeps in. So if you're looking for a personal account of life in a third-world country that's funny, yet whiney, pick it up.
