Like every other Chicken Soup - it just reads well. Quick stories. Some were tear-jerkers, some made me laugh, some made me reflect on my own experiences. It’s a good read for anyone coming out of a relationship, any relationship. It’s a comforting read.

This isn’t one of the best of chicken soup series though some of the stories are really nice. However, as chicken soup is collection of writing of people like us I find it wrong to review it because it’s bunch of experience which has been given form of a book. Not everyone’s experience can touch our heart may be because we don’t relate to it or haven’t experience!

This book helped guide me through a time in my life where I had a lot of questions and not many answers. This book helped me to know that a divorce isn't the end but a beginning. I knew that a divorce didn't have to be ugly, bitter and destructive. The stories in this book made me know that there is life after divorce for the spouses but more importantly, for the children. This book inspired me to continue to pursue my vision of a wonderful and loving life after divorce for the children, me and anyone else that chooses to believe as I do.

seperti biasa, kisah kisah chiken soup selalu menginspirasi dan membuat kita mengerti bahwa kita tidak sendirian menghadapi masalah yang sama. Buku ini adalah sekumpulan cerita tentang masalah dan sikap yang harus diambil ketika pernikahan yang telah direncanakan dari awal harus berakhir dengan perceraian. Tidak seorang pun merencanakan perceraian dan ada banyak hal yang harus dihadapi ketika keputusan itu harus diambil. Perceraian mungkin menyakitkan tapi jika kita bisa menyikapinya secara bijaksana, kita pasti menerimanya dan mengambil hikmah dari hal yang telah terjadi.

Divorce is tough no matter the circumstances, and it has helped me to read other peoples' stories of how they have moved on with their lives. It helps to know that there are many people on the other side of divorce, and they are doing just fine. There are many lovely and inspiring stories in this book. If you are struggling through divorce, this book will offer support.
