Augusten Burroughs, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Running With Scissors"
"Powerful. "SPLIT" reads like a greased bullet."
Judith Moore, bestselling author of "Fat Girl"

"Finnamore, already an accomplished novelist, easily makes the transition to creative nonfiction. Progressing through Elisabeth Kubler-Ross's five stages of death and dying - denial, anger, bargaining, grief, and acceptance - she expertly creates... a treatise on an important subject in family relations - divorce - describing how she learned of her ex-husband's infidelity, realized he wasn't the right man for her, struggled as a single mother, and came to terms with losing her status as a "happily married woman." Recommended.
