Synopsis

Brought to you by Penguin.

What do you do when your relationship suddenly ends? How do you cope when the cosy 'coupley' future you had planned disappears?

Join comedian Helen Thorn from The Scummy Mummies as she haphazardly takes the plunge into single life for the first time in twenty-two years.

Helen shares her own roller coaster journey from the initial shock of a surprise separation, the messy months hanging out in her PJs through to the highs of rediscovering online dating, tiny pants, rock-solid female friendships and the glorious joy of just being by herself.

With the help of relationship experts and an army of women "who know", Get Divorced, Be Happy will show you that going it alone isn't the end, it is just the beginning, and you will come out the other side, stronger, happier and goddamn sassier than ever before.

Goodreads review by Kirsty on July 16, 2022

Amazing read. I sat in the garden at 10am and now, at 5:30 I’m still out here having read the whole damn thing. I laughed out loud several times and the neighbours must have wondered what was going on as I sobbed for a good hour or so of it. If you’re going through separation or divorce - read it!......more
