Good people can be bad partners. One night during his divorce, after one too many vodkas and a phone-in-therapist’s advice to ‘journal his feelings,’ Matthew Fray started a blog. On it, he tried to piece together how his ex-wife went from the college freshman who adored him to the angry woman who thought he was an asshole. It turns out that even though he was a decent guy, he was kind of a shitty husband. As he shared raw, uncomfortable and darkly humourous stories about the lessons he’d learned from his failed marriage, Matthew started to gain a following. Then he wrote a post titled ‘She Divorced Me Because I left the Dishes by the Sink’ – it went viral and was read over four million times. This book offers immediately actionable advice to help readers identify toxic behaviour patterns in their own lives, and break them out of the cycles of dysfunction that ruin relationships.

George and Stella’s marriage is over. They can’t decide exactly when that happened (Was it the Coke can? Or that comment about Jurassic Park?), but they both agree that it has. A couple of months after the separation, Stella’s mother, Margaret ‘The Force of Nature’ Foy sends out invites for her murder mystery anniversary party – with George on the invite list. Stella hasn’t told her parents about the divorce, she couldn’t bring herself to. And with her father’s business shutting down, Margaret’s recent cancer diagnosis and some very odd behaviour from her older sister Helen, now is clearly not a good time. All they have to do is make it through the day without their secret being discovered. And in doing so, they may find each other again – or see their past and future both go up in flames!
