@lifesavingdivorce.bsky.social loved your book. Will post a review to Goodreads. And I love that you recommended ChumpLady! Her book helped me so much when I went through my divorce in 2014.

Dropped my phone in the parking lot at Mariano's today and a good Samaritan found it and drove it home to me less than 30 minutes later. Thanks, Good Samaritan.
