Customer Reviews

A must read.

This story, while heartbreaking, was inspiring. There is life after divorce, you just have to get through the hard times first. I really connected with the characters and felt the story really resonated with me. It wasn't an uplifting story, of course, but one that I feel needs to be told and read by people like me. A must, must read for anyone who has ever felt the pain of loss then then thrill of moving on. Another good read about this subject matter--Playtime.

Highly Recommended

I have read every book on this subject (divorce). Although it came out a bit late in the day (decade) for me - or rather for my own divorce - it still provided still needed succor. Funny and beautifully written and studded with sentences you will want to write down. Highly recommended.

So smart, so funny, so well-written. Buy it immediately.

It' s incredibly difficult to be funny while telling a heartbreaking story, but Finnamore absolutely pulls it off. Every page crackles with wit and intelligence. Anyone who is going through a divorce owes it to herself to read this book and discover how to come out the other side of the experience stronger and with her sense of humor completely intact. If you don't like this book, seek professional help. Every page is an undiluted joy.

This excellent book is for everyone!

This book kept me up way past my bedtime! It is so full of heart, humor and honesty that you will alternately laugh out loud or maybe shed a tear or two. And no, it is not just for the gals, or people have been divorced or betrayed, but anyone who enjoys a witty, entertaining book. Suzanne is so talented that she managed to take her painful divorce and turn it into a brilliant memoir. I highly recommend this.

Not just for the ladies

Suzanne Finnamore's third book Split is fantastic. I highly recommend it. It takes you on an amazing journey through an incredibly difficult time with style, humor and incredible insight. It makes you think. I'm a married man and I dug this book and I want to stay married!
