Summary: I Found Myself in this Book...I highly recommend!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This is the most amazing book I have ever read. I highly recommend this book to everyone! I had to buy the book for a few of my friends, who are children of divorce. It allowed me to understand the way I am, and why I handle myself the way I do, when it comes to relationships. At the time of my parents divorce, I had to be strong and was a little adult and grew up too fast because of it. Yet I dealt with it and moved on. Yet I never realized that in later years the impact of the divorce would paralyze my future relationships. This book put into perspective of why I have felt the way I did, and that I am not alone.

Summary: This book is about me...
Review: What I like most about this book is that the author keeps her promises. As she states at the beginning, it's not a how-to book or a book that has all the answers. Rather, it simply shares the experiences of the author as well as the people who were interviewed. Staal does an incredible job of mixing first-person accounts with information from the 120 interviews she performed. This gives the book a narrative flow which will keep you reading and make you anxious to hear how her parents' divorce impacted her life. If your parents were divorced or if you are having trouble finding love, this book will undoubtedly teach you a lot about yourself.
