How to sleep alone in a King-size bed (book review)

I read a lot of books. I rarely ever take the time to review them on amazon. I had to review this one because I felt cheated out of my $11 I spent at Target for this one. What a great premise. A woman’s memoir about her journey with divorce. I read a few good reviews and I wonder if those people aren’t her friends. When I went through my own divorce, I didn’t care what anyone else thought about me or the situation. I also didn’t lay in bed crying for week’s on end. I know that everyone’s experience with divorce is different, heck I know a woman who remarried her ex-husband. (and for the record, I will never, but I do now get it)  I get that every situation is different. But this woman just does not come across as authentic whatsoever. She comes across as selfish and stupid.  The sad part is…really….what a great great cover on this novel. I love the cover photo so much I could put it on my wall….if I could just find it without her novel title on it…that is.

“I’ve been divorced. This is the novel this writer wants her children to one day read, this is not the novel that speaks to reality.  This author is clueless about “real” life.  She abhors the idea of getting a job at Microsoft because somehow she’s “better than that”.  She also seems to have very little anger by the time she writes this novel.  I’ve been divorced for 5 years now and I can still recall the anger.  Her anger is gone and thereby it’s not even in this novel. 
Her quick wrap up at the end is also ridiculas.  Seriously?  You date someone new and you never speak about the difficulties for anyone but yourself?  It’s as if she got tired of writing and wanted to money so she called it quits.
This book makes me want to write about the realitys of divorce, and more so the reality of the aftermath, the years that you work on making it work for your children, the resurfacing of the anger just when you think it’s gone.  She tries to make her ex out to be some kind of “good” guy for her kidssake.  Your husband gambles away all your money and leaves you in debt and you don’t want a job at Microsoft?
Stupid twit writing this book….or perhaps someone not in touch with reality.  Maybe the husband left because she wasn’t paying attention to reality and he sought comfort in the game’s he played.  Just a thought. I would leave her too. 
This book is irritating and I’m someone who has been there.  Give me a break with all the cute little antedotes in the book.  If you didn’t write it why steal it to enhance your book.
Save your money, buy some highly rated “coping with divorce” books.  This one is not reality.
I think her last name might be Frey. The female storyteller. 
And NO I don’t hate men.  And no I don’t hate my ex.  And yes I have a job.  I’m not an angry reviewer, I’m just being honest.  This memoir read like a cheap bubblegum machine diamond ring.  FAKE FAKE FAKE.
