What She Did Next

What to Do When the Life You Planned is F**ked Up

It is a well-known fact that half of all marriages end in divorce. But what is less well explored is the relatively recent phenomena of barely there marriages: short ones, that come to a shocking end before they've even got going.

Divorcing couples are no longer just mid-lifers who've run out of things to talk to each other when their kids go to uni. They're bright, young things who, out of seemingly nowhere, change their minds. And according to divorce lawyers, it's men who are much more likely to pull the plug. Here, one victim of this new phenomena - whose husband called it quits after six months - seeks to find the answers to her own blindsiding experience via seven stories of other surprising divorces.

What She Did Next is a beacon of hope to the heartbroken, a flickering light at the end of the shit-filled tunnel. The knowledge that, even though your entire world is fucked up, everything will eventually be alright. In fact, it will probably be even better than it was before.
