I can't imagine how Kat must have felt finding out that her husband was having an affair with her best friend and when she was in the hospital no less! The fact that some of her family and friends approve of her husband's wrongdoing just adds salt to injury. I applaud Kat's resilience.

Wow; I cannot imagine the pain Kat felt when she received the phone call about her husband's infidelity. Even worse is the fact that some of her family and friends knew, yet they kept it a secret from her. Her positivity despite everything going on is remarkable. Thanks for the review!

'Never Let a Good Disaster Go to Waste by Kat Finnerty recounts Kat's life and the times when she had to summon all her strength to overcome the challenges she faced.'
Some challenges does require all our strength to face. I understand Kat and would like to know about her story.

It's so sad that Kat had to also deal with her friend and husband's betrayal amidst her challenges. I would love to read and share from this story.

Definitely not my cup of tea, because not only I disagree with the concept described in this book, but also because I find the recollection of experiences used as examples too personal nd hard for outlookers. Sorry, I prefer to skip in, but congratulations, anyway!

Never Let a Good Disaster Go to Waste" by Kat Finnerty is thought-provoking. The title alone is enough to build a course outline. 😁😁 It is the memoir of Kat Finnert's adventures as a young, cheeky child who grew up to become a brave woman.
Infidelity is a cancerous issue that tears relationships and families apart. It is remarkable that despite Kat's numerous disasters, she found the courage and strength to move.

One of the most frequent queries people have about why life is so cruel to them is this one. A question that, unless we take decisive action in response to the dire conditions, probably has no answer. Kat Finnerty's novel Never Let a Good Disaster Go to Waste depicts Kat's wretched existence and the extreme highs and lows she experiences.

It depicts Kat's wretched but courageous journey, during which she encounters a variety of life's facets, including patience, betrayal, love, and a great deal more. It's a motivational narrative that I think has a lot of life lessons in it. Deep congratulations on BOTD.

My jaw dropped when I read the statement that her dad said about the child he should have drowned. That’s a sad statement that no child should hear. The book sounds intense, with moments of laughter—a fantastic 5-star review.

“Never Let a Good Disaster Go to Waste” by Kat Finnerty is a memoir of Kat’s life and the times she had difficulty overcoming the issues she encountered. The book begins on Kat’s 40th birthday while she is in the hospital for an operation. She receives a call from her daughter and learns Kat’s best friend slept in her bed the past night and then she learns this friend was having an affair with her husband. Kat provides a comprehensive view of her “naughty” childhood. Her father joked that he should have drowned her at birth. Kat’s marriage was over and then she learns she has multiple sclerosis. Kat is a real fighter that does not give up. This is a wonderful book that readers will learn many life lessons and enjoy how Kat overcomes adversity

After reading the sample and this review, I am enticed to read more of the book. I am even more inspired to write my own autobiography someday, while reading about Kat's life and struggles.
