Surviving Divorce (52 Brilliant Ideas): Your Roadmap Through the Emotional and Financial Maze (52 BRILLIANT IDEAS) by Victoria Perrett takes a unique approach to providing helpful information to people in divorce. It is organized into 52 short, illustrated chapters that cover everything from making the initial decision to moving on after the decree is final. Brief question and answer snippets are provided at the end of each section and they touch upon a variety of legal, financial and emotional issues. Relevant quotes and ideas fill the margins of this book and suggest activities, tasks or ideas you might consider before, during and after divorce.

Victoria Perrett, a “trained psychotherapist”, discusses the “feelings” side of divorce like your girlfriend or mother might. Her writing style is somewhat lighthearted and easily relatable. She briefly addresses the general stages and multitude of issues you might face in divorce however; by no means is this a technical divorce manual. It does not set forth specific legal divorce procedures nor does it discuss state specific divorce laws. Thus, if you are looking for an easy read that quickly and generally gives you an idea of what to expect and how to handle various aspects of divorce, this book may be what you’re looking for. Surviving Divorce (52 Brilliant Ideas): Your Roadmap Through the Emotional and Financial Maze (52 BRILLIANT IDEAS) can be read and re-read numerous times during divorce but it shouldn’t be the only text you read or rely upon. Make sure it is only a supplement to the other much more in depth, state specific divorce books you read.
