What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

What do you do when your relationship suddenly ends? How do you cope when the cosy 'coupley' future you had planned disappears?

Join comedian Helen Thorn from The Scummy Mummies as she haphazardly takes the plunge into single life for the first time in twenty-two years.

Helen shares her own roller coaster journey from the initial shock of a surprise separation, the messy months hanging out in her PJs through to the highs of rediscovering online dating, tiny pants, rock-solid female friendships and the glorious joy of just being by herself.

With the help of relationship experts and an army of women "who know", Get Divorced, Be Happy will show you that going it alone isn't the end, it is just the beginning, and you will come out the other side, stronger, happier and goddamn sassier than ever before.

Critics Review

  • A big hug in a book for anyone going through separation or divorce

  • Helen is the woman I want in my life when the shit hits the fan. She makes me smile, even at the darkest of times

    Bryony Gordon
  • Brutally honest and frequently hilarious

    Jenny Eclair
  • Like a best mate in a book to guide you through hell – and out the other side via belly laughs, firefighters and finding joy in a new way of living

    Helen Russell
  • Helen is a superwoman. She is honest, open and makes us giggle without making us feel guilty for laughing. Her heart is full of love
