Before her 2009 divorce memoir, Happens Every Day: An All-Too-True Story, became a New York Times bestseller, Isabel Gillies was a semi-famous film and television actress best known for her role on televisions Law and Order. Now, she is the author of three books (two memoirs, one novel) and on her way to becoming best known as a semi-famous bestselling author.
Despite her fame, fortune and beauty, Gillies was not immune to cold-hearted rejection. When her husband unequivocally announced he wanted out of their marriage, Gillies life became less law and order and more woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown. However, all her self-pity, insecurity and stalker-like instincts read like fiction... It made for an honest and captivating memoir.

I enjoyed this audiobook so much that I listened to it twice. The author wrote a very compelling, heartfelt true story. What happened to her could happen to anyone. I would love to hear a part two, as there is no doubt her former husband will do the same thing to Sylvia as he did to her -- and his first wife.
If you are going through a divorce(especially the wounded partner)this is a must read. Raw and heartbreaking emotion from Isabel Gillies.
