Book Review of Divorce Sucks

Divorce Sucks
reviewed on + 7 more book reviews


This is not a book I plan on keeping after reading.I'm not going to get married so I have no need for divorce. However,I think the other reviewers were too harsh on this book.I got it out of curosity because I'm a long time fan of Tori Spelling's and her side along with Dean McDermott's has been told extensively, and I was curious about the other side . It seems Ms.Eustace didn't delve into her life with Dean and the divorce deeply enough to satisfy most readers.I also wanted to know more even though I'm not entitled to.Despite my feelings towards Tori,I'm disgusted with the way she and Dean treated their spouses .It was pretty cold,especially if Mary Jo is telling the truth about how it went down.It was very selfish but people are selfish.They want what they want and often are not going to let others getting hurt get in their way .I think Mary Jo has every right to be bitter.She wasn't nearly as bitter in writing this book as I would have been. and the woman was humilated on an international scale.Anybody would have been humilated in her situation.Icame away from the book with the sense that Mary Jo felt she lived through an utter nightmare and wanted to share what she learned in the process with other women.Good for her in doing that and using her experience to provide for her family.
