Speaking as a recent chump (aka someone who has been cheated
on) I thought this book was exactly what I needed. Every chapter is like a mini
pep talk or slap of sense in the face. I wish that I found it sooner.
Schorn divorced a serial cheater years ago, and since then
has realized that most sources about infidelity focus on the cheater's needs or
have a huge emphasis on reconciliation. Nothing mirrored her history where
leaving a cheater was the best choice she's ever made. So she created her blog
(chumplady.com) and ended up writing this book as a resource for chumps.
It's one heck of a resource, the chapters cover everything
from the initial reaction to stupid things cheaters say to stupid things
friends can say. The tone is light, as though a knowledgable friend were
talking to you, and quirky cartoons adorn several of the pages. It really lifts
your spirits, and adds some humor to an otherwise depressing situation.
Honestly can't recommend it enough, I'm so glad that I only
picked one self-help book and that it was this one. World needs more people
like Shorn who are trying to get others through challenges that they have
already overcome.
