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. The book begins on Kat's 40th birthday while she is in the hospital for an operation. Her phone beeps and a message from her daughter informs her that her best friend slept over in her bed! That was the first of many disasters to come because she soon discovered her so-called friend was having an affair with her husband, Trevor. It got Kat thinking about her marriage. How she first met Trevor, their dating life, marriage, having kids, and most importantly, how they met Tahlia. Kat also shared her childhood in the book and what it was like to be raised by a strict father after her mother sadly passed away from cancer. Kat's early years were filled with amusing memories since she was a naughty child, and her father would sometimes say that she was the child he should have drowned at birth. Grab a copy to learn how Kat dealt with her life's disasters and how everything turned out.

Despite being nonfiction, the tension created in this book was remarkable. As I read the book, I imagined how Kat must have felt during this turbulent period in her life, when everything seemed to be conspiring against her. Kat had no choice but to pick herself up from a broken marriage, make the best decisions for herself and her children, and, as she would later learn, earn enough money to support her children's education because, in addition to having left, her husband had taken money from their mortgage account and was withholding his financial support for the education of their two boys. Furthermore, she was battling multiple sclerosis, and I was inspired by how she managed to remain hopeful while fighting each of these battles. Kat is a true fighter, and the life lessons and experiences she shares in this book will benefit many people. Even though it seemed like everything was against her, I never once saw her ask, "Why me?" I also liked how Kat expressed her emotions in the book. I could feel her anguish and despair when she discovered that not only was her husband having an affair, but some of their friends and family were aware of it and were even pleased to see Trevor and Tahlia happy.

There is nothing I disliked about this book. It is perfect as it is. I enjoyed reading about Kat's life and her adventures as a young, cheeky child growing up to become a brave woman. The book is full of meaningful lessons, and I learned from Kat's experiences that in life, you just have to keep moving forward, looking for hope in all situations, and doing your best. I rate the book 5 out of 5 stars. The book was exceptionally edited; there were no grammatical errors that I could find. I highly recommend this book for those who enjoy autobiographies.

This book features a tale full of ups and downs, but I am not sure if readers can relate to someone who goes through multiple things thrown at her at full force at once. It would probably help out some struggling readers though, even if not all people actually succeed in solving their issues in real life.

A wonderful story of perseverance and tenacity. This is a true example of accepting the challenges life throws at you and turning them into accomplishments. The 12 principles and the few pages I sampled were compelling. Saved on TBR. The review is well-written, straightforward, and appealing.

[NetMassimo]

Kat's story had many complications that could cause depression. On the contrary, she found the strength and resilience to pass through them all and turn things around. Her memoir of all of that is truly inspiring. Thank you for your great review!

What a saddening tale, but at the same time it provides an opportunity in the similitude of a light at the end of every tunnel. This book can restore strength and faith getting to know that whatever you're going through today, someone has seen worse or something similar.

What a 40th birthday it is for Kat. How is she able to deal with all the drama that unfolded on her 40th birthday? I guess I'll find out in the book.

The part about her childhood memories made me smile. Sounds like she was quite the handful as a kid!

Today's BOTD is one part memoir, one part self-help, and full inspiration in which Kat shares her disasterous journey through life only to come out on the other side stronger, better, and ready to face whatever life throws her way. Readers interested in stories of courage, growth, and overcoming challenges (especially when the odds are highly stacked against you) are in for a treat with this book!

This is so intriguing. Kat must've felt really bad and sick from her discovery. I want to give this book a read. Nice review. Congratulations on winning BOTD.
