[Julie Atha · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book but wrong title. I think it should not be have divorce but just "think financially not emotionally", because women going through a divorce will read it, and this is a preparation for the future type of book. This Is a book every woman should read, whether they are married or unmarried. It does discuss preparing for divorce but if you are in the middle of a divorce then it is information may be coming a bit too late. People invest in auto and health insurance and write wills-much before their time; this book teaches women to be wise and think ahead even if they know in their hearts that they may never divorce, and may not be married yet either. All mothers should recommend this book to their daughters as they grow into adulthood and take charge of finances. I do think that the negative connotation "divorce" sends an inaccurate idea of the book. We all try to prepare for the future and be educated and this is a great place to start understanding how women can learn to be financially prepared for their own futures.
