About the author

James “Jimmy” Hyten is a freelance writer and works for the Denver Department of Public Safety. Born in Houston, Texas his time there was short-lived as he was born into an Air Force family requiring him to move every couple of years. Finding himself back in Houston he was married and after a very stressful and emotional yet inspirational time, divorced. Eventually he settled down once again after meeting his soon to be wife and the love of his life. James graduated from Sam Houston State University with a Bachelor degree in business. He is currently pursuing graduate studies at the University of Denver. His debut book, MY AWFULLY WEDDED LIFE, is about the perils of his first marriage and it’s told through anecdotes that remind everyone at Sakura Publishing of David Sedaris and his stories of a dysfunctional family. Truly inspiring work, this book for anyone who has ever gone through a divorce or know what it’s like to live with somebody who drives you crazy.

that one-star rating is a lie. zero stars. negative stars. not even properly proofread.

This book is so funny! I found myself laughing outloud at the laundrymat one weekend when I was reading the book. No matter if you take the author's side or not for his plight, his view of circumstances of being married and being in a relationship with a woman are hilarious.

Reading his book put a smile on my face and warmth in my heart. Relationships are not easy. Sometimes you have to have a sense of humor to survive the demise of a relationship. This author certainly has a great sense of humor.

Definately worth your time in reading~

While I enjoyed the humor and the little stories in the book, I just wish the author hadn't felt the need to put so much swearing and poop into the book. It took away from the humor and made it not as fun to read. It was nice to read about a relationship from a guys perspective as so often, his view gets overlooked. I plan to pass this book on to someone else as it wasn't really my thing and I don't see myself reading it again...ever. *I won this book in a GoodReads First Reads giveaway*
