Hilarious. Just what a lot of women need to understand the quick, down and dirty things they need to get through a divorce. A spoonful of humor helps the medicine go down. No British nannies, plenty of adult humor.

I loved this book. I wish someone had given me a copy of it when my former husband said, "I'm finished." The book made me realize that other people were feeling the same things that I was. And that it was okay to feel sad, but with a little help my friends, I'll get through the ordeal. And now that I have, I'm looking forward I'm really looking forward to my future.

Thanks to Vicki King and Jennifer O'Connell for writing such a wonderful book.
