What an incredible journey Kat took. To write about her most intimate struggles shows the strength that she has. I grabbed my copy and can't wait to dive in.

Every life is a story, and it is so long that it would fill up the biggest of the books. This book is a story of the life of the author and the challenges she faced in her life. Congratulations on the BOTD, and best wishes for future projects.

Kat sounds like a remarkable lady; I think we can learn much from her. Regardless of how naughty a child is, I don't believe a parent should ever say something like Kat's father said to her. Her friends and family really betrayed her and so did her husband. I hope she found genuine people during her adventures. Thank you for your insightful review.

Wow, what a powerful review of 'Never Let a Good Disaster Go to Waste' by Kat Finnerty! Kat's journey sounds incredibly inspiring, especially her resilience in the face of so many challenges. The way she handled her broken marriage, financial struggles, and multiple sclerosis is truly admirable. I'm really moved by how she never asked 'Why me?' and just kept pushing forward. This book definitely seems like a must-read for anyone looking for a dose of real-life inspiration. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

This is a beautiful review. Thank you.
I love the book title, " Never Let a Good Disaster Go to Waste", by Kat Finnerty, which highlights a pivotal point in Kat's life journey on her 40th Birthday. The series of disasters she faces is rather a jaw-dropping.
However, her approach to her challenges and circumstances is absolutely admirable!
Congratulations on BOTD!

The title is precisely what I understood from sampling few pages of the book. This is completely a different perspective I have come across - to face the disaster like a challenge rather than wasting up the energy in succumbing to its consequences. A true inspiring story from real life!

Review of the book “Never Let a Good Disaster Go to Waste” by Kat Finnerty is amazing. How the reviewer summarized and brought out the most important aspects of the book is flawless.
The Superwoman aspect of Kat in handling the disappointments without being emotional and judgemental is interesting and worthy of emulation. This book is a lesson to other people with similar experience.

Kats life is one many in today's world would give up if they find themselves in the same situation as her but she really represent everything any woman in this world should be like always ready to fight and battle every challenge they come across to me she is truly an Inspiration.

What a great review, Eva! I sampled the opening episode where Kat learns from her ten-year-old daughter Stella that Tahlia slept over in Kat's bed, and, liked you, I liked the story and the tension. I agree that this book is a treasure trove of inspiration for everyone who is experiencing a dark patch of life.
