Get Divorced, Be Happy

How becoming single turned out to be my happily ever after

By: Helen Thorn

Narrated by: Helen Thorn

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.

Critic reviews

A big hug in a book for anyone going through separation or divorce

Helen is the woman I want in my life when the shit hits the fan. She makes me smile, even at the darkest of times

Brutally honest and frequently hilarious

Like a best mate in a book to guide you through hell - and out the other side via belly laughs, firefighters and finding joy in a new way of living

Helen is a superwoman. She is honest, open and makes us giggle without making us feel guilty for laughing. Her heart is full of love

It's not over when it's over - what you need to know is here

The one thing I needed in the wake of my divorce was hope - Helen's book slathers a big dollop of happy-salve onto the wounds you may be trying to heal
