Interesting and well written I just personally couldn’t get into the story. Difficult to follow at times and a little slow. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

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, etc. There are also very worthwhile thought exercises and journal prompts to help readers process. It's definitely written from a position of privilege--the author inhabits an upper middle-class world where one has to determine who does the spa maintenance and the barrier to solving problems by "throwing some money at it" is giving oneself permission to do it. That said, any reader going through a divorce could benefit from reading this.

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!

As someone who is going in this direction, I gravitated to this book the second I saw it. And Dais did not disappoint. I felt SPOKEN to and could see my relationship breaking down in exactly the ways Dais was describing. It was heartbreaking and enlightening at the same time. I highly recommend this to anyone who is going through a divorce, has gone through one or who believes they may be on the path to one.

Informative and easy reading guide through a divorce. The book was somewhat humorous and had common sense advice as how to navigate through a divorce. The author mentioned seven stages of divorce. 1. Denial. 2. Glee/Booze 3. Blame Game 4.Netflix and cry 5. All the Therapy 6. HO phase and 7. The Shrug.
At the very end of the book he talks of forgiveness. I liked how he defined forgiveness as " letting go of the hope that the past could be different ".

This book was a good book for anyone going through a divorce

This book is engaging and written in an easy style. Overall, I felt the author maybe wrote this book just too early in her own divorce process and things were more in the weeds than big picture. As an emotional support book through a challenging time, this does work.

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 of cussing, it’s just science. You’re welcome.” My favorite quote that was referenced and that I need to remember is “Forgiveness is letting go of the hope that the past could be different.”

I do wish more detail was given to the financial consequences of divorce from a middle class lens. Perhaps someone who has to find a way to stay in the marital home so their kids can finish up school without having to move to a new district. The author had multiple properties which for me was so far from relatable. I would have liked more advice about tax implications and the financial parts no one tells you about- like you are suddenly a bad driver now that you are single and we are going to jack your car insurance up! Overall I am glad I took the time to read it.

Informative. Comprehensive. Must read for anyone going thru a divorce.

Thanks to author, publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free, it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.
