Synopsis

A bestselling author offers a refreshingly honest, compassionate guide to the sh!tstorm that is divorce: falling apart, staying afloat, and new beginnings (whether you are ready for them or not).

After 12 years together, 2 children, 10 pets, and 5 properties, Dawn and her partner decided to call it quits. In the newest installment of her bestselling Sh!t No One Tells You series, Dawn tries to figure out what happened… and what happens next. 

Dawn takes you on her own bumpy, meandering, and often absurd journey through the destruction of a life exploded by divorce. She dodges legal hurdles, irrational decisions, alarmed therapists, random hobbies, and a concerning number of dating app profiles that look like the beginning of a true crime podcast. But somehow, she found herself stronger—and happier—on the other side.  

Leaning into the mess, Dawn helps you learn the art of embracing Netflix and cry, the healing power of profanity, the importance of assembling the right support squad, how to survive the sh!tshow of co-parenting, and much more. Joined by an insightful chorus of divorced friends, Dawn delivers a true-to-life and funnier-than-it-should-be guide to discovering the unexpected value in the wreckage. What if divorce isn’t just a loss—but an opportunity?

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and publisher for the digital ARC of ”The Sh!t No One Tells You About Divorce.” I definitely identified with the author when she says “We’ll rage and laugh and introspect and cry. And cuss. We are going to cuss a lot. There can be no healing without a fair amount......more

Goodreads review by MookNana on January 21, 2023

This is as much of a personal memoir as a guide to divorce, but it was interesting reading with helpful things to take away. The focus on co-parenting was at least as strong as the actual mechanics of divorce, but there are many practical tips for how to divide households, deal with legal issues, et......more
