Two Minus One

Interesting book about being blindsided in your marriage, and the subsequent divorce.  What a mess author had to deal with.  Dealing with divorce is never a picnic, having gone through it myself.  Very informative.

Thanks to author, publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free, it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.

Firstly I need to say Kathryn I wish you every happiness and hope life is kinder to you. My Mum went through a very similar situation and I wish she had found your strength. This book cannot fail to make you think how you would feel in the authors shoes. Honestly written,  it’s unfortunately a devastating part of so many women’s life. Although it’s not meant as a self help book I can see that it would give support and inspiration to ladies Going through divorce or separation.

What a surprising book this was.  I was thoroughly engrossed in Kathryn's story and how she was just so honest and frank.  
Kathryn and her husband started their relationship as neighbours, then friends and then lovers and marriage.  After blending their families together and moving for husbands job, Kathryn thought things were going well.  She had no knowledge how things would turn.
On a weekend away to visit Husband's dying brother, in the car he say's " I'm done with the marriage and don’t want to talk about it,”.
What a shock she had.
Kathryn relied on her closet friend in her time of grief and after many tries found a therapist.  
Time heals all wonds - not so.  But with the devastation of her husband leaving in such a shocking way, it took her time to sort through her feelings and move on.
She has put her life out in ways that many wouldn't and it actually gave me hope that if this were to happen to myself or anyone I know, then I could draw from Kathryn's book and her strength that she possessed to get her through this period in her life.
A must read, for anyone.  Whether your in a relationship- solid or not.
