Summary: "a helpful book."

Starting off the book was the very helpful analogy of divorce with terminal illness, and the similarities between the emotional reactions of people going through either. It helped put a better perspective on reactions of both of us through our separation.

At a point when emotions and chaos was flying it was good to get a basic understanding of the legal and financial implications of divorce and the legal process.

As somebody from Ontario, Canada, I also found the very Ontario specific bias of this book helpful. Also helpful was that this book was also not out of date. Reading a book 10 years old written in the USA, there is a lot that is guessed to be irrelevant, and this book didn't require so much care to read in case of inapplicability.
