Book Reviews of Split: A Memoir of Divorce
Book Review: This excellent book is for everyone!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book kept me up way past my bedtime! It is so full of heart, humor and honesty that you will alternately laugh out loud or maybe shed a tear or two. And no, it is not just for the gals, or people have been divorced or betrayed, but anyone who enjoys a witty, entertaining book. Suzanne is so talented that she managed to take her painful divorce and turn it into a brilliant memoir. I highly recommend this. Book Review: Powerful and important
Summary: 5 Stars
Finnamore is incredible. I don't think I've read a book this honest or brave in a long while. In knockout prose, she chronicles her husband's departure, the thorny road to divorce, and how she managed to navigate all the Elizabeth Kubler Ross stages of grief until she got to level ground in her life. Finnamore's eye for the telling moment, for the detail that can scorch your heart (or make you laugh) is impeccable. Trust me. This book is flat out wonderful. Book Review: Superb and brave
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved, loved, loved this book. What comes through (beside the terrific writing) is Finnamore's bravery. She gets at the heart (forgive the pun) of relationships and delves into what it takes to form scar tissue. Haunting, funny and really, really smart.Book Review: Not just for the ladies
Summary: 5 Stars
Suzanne Finnamore's third book Split is fantastic. I highly recommend it. It takes you on an amazing journey through an incredibly difficult time with style, humor and incredible insight.

Summary: 5 Stars
By Deirdre Donahue, USA TODAY
Split is really about heartbreak. Gay, straight, married, single -- anyone who has been emotionally eviscerated by love will appreciate this book.
Finnamore, a novelist, seemed to have crafted a perfect life. She was married to an older, wildly successful marketing executive with superb taste. She and "N" lived in Marin County, Calif., with their toddler.
But "N" wasn't happy; he left Finnamore for another woman.
This is familiar domestic territory. What makes Finnamore's story original is her willingness to expose herself and her efforts to get her husband back.
Split is hilarious and moving. Finnamore falls apart, she drinks, she burns photos, she needs to be rescued by her mother and friends.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
