What to expect
Twenty years of marriage. Twenty years of ignored red flags. And one very smug ex-girlfriend.
He seemed perfect at first. Don’t they always? I fell fast, and I fell hard. So when I discovered his secret double life, suddenly all those years of feeling paranoid made sense.
I had two options (well three, if you count me and my best friend with two spades and a suspicious willingness to serve hard time):
1. Stay for the kids
2. Sacrifice my sanity to divorce the b*stard
The Secret Divorcée is my unfiltered story of falling for a red flag, betrayal, bad decisions, and how to turn heartbreak into hilarity – fuelled by wine and a side hustle my mother must never, ever find out about.
Read along with Cassie in this gripping, hilarious and empowering semi-autobiographical account of what happened when she exposed her cheating husband's double-life, and started learning how to survive and thrive as a newly-single divorcée and mum.
