Summary: Suddenly single?
Review: After divorce, what then? "Bitter or Better" helps to ease the pain of not knowing what's next. It's thought provoking and inspiring. It moves you from the challenges to the cure. The uncharted territory of singlehood becomes increasingly clear with the turning of each page. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Better IS Better
Review: After my divorce my life was bleek and my outlook even bleeker. This book allowed me to (1) wake up to the reality of divorce, (2) take responsibility for my life, and (3) gave practical and easy steps to follow. This book is easy to read, easy to follow, and easy to understand. (And easy on the pocketbook as well.) Now I can make choices and face the challenges associated with my new life with renewed enthusiasm and verve. Dr. Leporowski comes across as an intelligent, warm, trustworthy, and empathetic author. She certainly knows of what she speaks.

Summary: The end is just another beginning.......
Review: Dr. Leporowski has written a slim but so useful book here that is bound to be of help to anyone dealing with the loss of a relationship. Her advice and suggestions are practical, thought provoking, and geared toward moving someone into the self-examination so necessary in order to move on into a new life following divorce. She takes special care to guide the reader through and past the traps of self-pity, blame, resentment and self-denigration without becoming critical or judgmental of those experiencing these all-too-common feelings when a marriage ends. I found her writing style to be refreshingly candid and almost conversational. Reading the book feels like sitting down with an old friend who is going to give you the "straight scoop" and not a lot of jargon or intellectual theorizing. She quite literally cuts to the "heart" of the matter! I've already started recommending this book to my psychotherapy patients facing divorce or its aftermath, encouraging them toward a more proactive self-examination and self-definition of who they are going to be NOW!

Summary: divorce grounded in realism.
Review: Dr.Leporowski has taken the personal pain of divorce combined with professional experience and created a helpful tool for anyone facing the plethora of emotions surrounding divorce. This book names the demons of divorce while supplying practical guidelines for moving on in life. The book illustrates how divorce is not the end of the world, but can actually provide an opportunity for self-disocvery and growth. Kudos to Dr. Leporowski for presenting the information in a practical,yet compassionate manner.

Summary: A Counselor's Review
Review: I have been a marriage and famil counselor for 22 years. After reading Dr. Leporowski's book, "Bitter or Better", I was so grateful that there was another counselor who understood the impact that bitterness has on people's lives.
She is right on in so many ways.
Throughout her book, she continues to position the reader to stop looking back at the offences that have occured, stop blaming the people of the past and start taking ownership of of their own lives and choices.
It is a must read for anyone who has traveled the rocky road of divorce.
Reading this book will open a whole new opportunity of living a life filled with contentment and peace.Dr. Gary Lawrence
