While wandering the new releases in my local library, I stumbled upon Theo Pauline Nestor’s divorce memoir, How to Sleep Alone in a King-Size Bed: A Memoir A few hours after leaving the library with Theo’s book in hand, I began reading and was immediately hooked. In fact I was so taken by Theo’s prose that I told my sister about it that evening, and much to my chagrin, she absconded it for several weeks. Upon its return, I finished Theo’s book in just a few days and cannot speak highly enough about it.
