About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

What do you do when your relationship suddenly ends? How do you cope when the cosy 'coupley' future you had planned disappears?

Join comedian Helen Thorn from The Scummy Mummies as she haphazardly takes the plunge into single life for the first time in 22 years.

Helen shares her own roller-coaster journey from the initial shock of a surprise separation, the messy months hanging out in her PJs through to the highs of rediscovering online dating, tiny pants, rock-solid female friendships and the glorious joy of just being by herself.

With the help of relationship experts and an army of women 'who know', Get Divorced, Be Happy will show you that going it alone isn't the end, it is just the beginning, and you will come out the other side, stronger, happier and goddamn sassier than ever before.

I laughed and cried along. Thanks for sharing your story, Helen x. Would have loved to hear more about managing the transition for your children... maybe that's another story.

Fun and warm story.

Helen is great. I laughed out loud several times. Not everything applies to everybody _ for example i do not have so many friends to rely on- but still,
it's a great book for boosting confidence.

relatable and fun

Absolutely loved this book. Its so incredibly well read by Helen and is funny, informative and heartfelt in equal measure.

I throughly enjoyed learning about Helen's experience and the empowerment and confidence she has gained from getting divorced and becoming a single parent.

This book is for everyone wanting to gain a new perspective on a subject than often isn't talked about and considered taboo.

Binged in a few days, highly recommend!

So insightful & heartfelt

I recommend this book to ALL WOMEN and all men! Yes, not just divorced or separated or those in toxic relationships (although even more for you guys and girls!). Listening to Helen telling her story and sharing loads of fab advice and wisdom was like having her next to me, like she’s my friend too now! Thanks for sharing this long journey and for normalising being happy after separation and showing the world that we are so much more than married to another person! So empowering I want all young women to listen to it too not just ‘forties’ like us lol!

Best gift I did to myself so far!

Absolutely fantastic and so empowering! It really felt like Helen was telling my story. A truly brave and funny lady. Thank you for sharing your story with us Helen. You are an inspiration to all of us single women.

A truly inspiring read

I am a big fan of the Scummy Mummies, feel like I really relate to their experiences. Helen is half of this duo, narrates this, and her book gives such a genuine insight into relationships, the heartache and the positive transformation that will happen if your relationship ends. At its core is the importance of the relationship one has with themselves. This is well worth a listen, whatever your circumstances. It made me cry and laugh out loud!!!

Incredible listen
