Great read
Such an uplifting book if you have gone through a divorce. A truly funny, sad and inspirational book to get you back in finding yourself and moving on with your life

Beautifully honest and candid
Such a breath of fresh air, I am not single and actually happily married however reading all the revelations that Helen discovered on her journey has given me food for thought, not for a moment do I want to be single or be shagging random men but having those important conversations and being totally honest with myself and my husband. I laughed and cried whilst reading this book and Helen has written it so honestly (brutally so) but with her trademark humour. Helen you are incredible and any man who gets to be part of your life is one lucky guy be it for a few hours or for as long as you want.

Great even if you're not getting a divorce
This is such a well written, funny, heartfelt book. The first chapters reminded me so much of myself, and despite being in a happy marriage, it made me check myself and think about my approach to my marriage and life more generally. It also made me think about how girlfriends are so important and how you need to nurture those relationships too. I cried, laughed, and reflected my way through it all.It's an amazing, wonderful book and I recommend everyone reads it - whether you're happily married, thinking about moving on from a marriage or having left one. It has made me a better person, and will make me a better friend too.

great read
I’ve followed Helen Theon for a while, I love the scummy mummies tour and content.The book was a good insight to Helen and offered some great advice and dare I say, inspiration

Never a truer word.
Helen writes about her experience of her relationship breakdown and how she dealt with it with humour and really shows that there is life after relationship breakdown.Having been through a very similar experience, albeit a few months ahead of Helen I could empathise with much of her experience. Helen talks about the heartbreak but also highlights the positives and shows that life restarts after the breakdown of a long relationship. This book adds value to everyone's life. It made me laugh out loud and also saw me shed a tear. I loved it that much I was quoting sections to my friends. Read this book. You won't regret it.

Perfect holiday reading, flew through this highly amusing book.
This book is full of emotion, it made me laugh (thank god for a decent pelvic floor) and cry. I could relate every step of the way to what Helen has experienced. Blindsided by the sudden exit of my husband from our family home. I ordered this book as a little birthday pressie to myself. I feel empowered by Helen's sheer will to survive as a little family of three. I hear you gorgeous girl and i am striving to do the same.Full of top tips that I will be using, its like this book was written just for me. Loved it, highly recommend.

Brilliant, Funny and insightful book
This book is brilliant for anyone who is divorced or single. Helen reflects on the highs and lows on finding yourself on your own in your 40’s. I’ve taken so much of what she talks about in that book and applied it to my own life (even though I’m 4 years post divorce myself, so much resonated with my own thoughts and feelings) I’ve recommended this book to SO many of my friends - brilliant, funny and insightful. Loved it!

Funny, Honest and Kind.
My 12 year relationship came to an end around the time when Helen sadly announced that her marriage had. Trying to be both the best mum you can, whilst dealing with your now ex, is incredibly difficult. Particularly through lockdowns.But Helen has written something brilliant here that isn’t patronising or glib to those of us who have had the rug pulled from under us by surprise.Reading it is like a massive hug!

I dont know how to review books but this one gets 5
This laugh and cry book is also a to do, what not to do instruction manual for divorce. It sheds a glorious light on what's on the other side of divorce and gives an entertaining front-line account of modern day 40s feminism.

Good reading
I have followed Helen on SM for a long time. I read this book cos I’m a nosey cow. It was a good read with a lot of good advice. I did skip over the legal bit but I understand it would be useful for someone going through divorce.Good read and well written
