I bought this for my cousin who is going through a messy divorce (is there such thing as a clean one?). She burst out laughing at the name of the book and told me she couldn't wait to read it. A week later she called to tell me it's really good because it's a relatively light read with some really helpful advice. She was touched that I thought of her and said she keeps it next to her bed.

Divorce is very personal, but it's good to see so many diverse opinions and perspectives in one book.

This will make your divorce a little easier.

"You can keep the damn china!" is a book filled with advice from Hundreds of Ex-Spouses. Divorce is hard, there's no need to go through it alone. With this book it feels like you are surrounded by friends who can sympathize with your situation. They offer you advice such as: Making the Decision to Divorce, The First Stage of Separation, Children, Friends and Family, Law, Finances and Property, Your New Life, Media Therapy, Maintaining a Relationship with Your Ex, Moving On, Healing, Best and Worst Things About Divorce and Divorce Information.

What I like best about this book is that you don't have to make the same mistakes they have made, you can learn from them. The other great thing about it is that you are not alone; it helps to ease the pain when you can listen to others who have gone through the same thing. I would recommend this book to anyone thinking about divorce or anyone who is already divorced.

There's a lot of important advice within these pages, event if the contributors don't always agree. It's good to have several perspectives on important issues! The book is an easy read, but doesn't stint on facing difficult questions. This isn't all from the female standpoint. There are many male contributors, too, which rounds out the opinions.

Getting re-married but wanted to make sure I had processed my divorce before jumping in again. This book has thoughtful, useful and witty advice and stories. I think there's something for everyone in here.
