[Tori · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book has some solid advice, tips, and tricks. My only qualms were that it was set for a VERY specific audience (older women in hetero relationships where infidelity was a deciding factor in the demise of their marriage), which made parts of the book wildly unrelatable. But I especially appreciated the portions about effective co-parenting and making your home your own.

A wealth of information and tips to help get through this hard chapter in life. It does have a lot in it about starting a business and speaks more to women who don’t work or know nothing about finances but I still found it helpful.
