Before the candles on their thirtieth birthday cakes were blown out, the 5 authors found their marriages in shambles. They spent their twenties dedicating themselves to creating strong marriages but nothing they did could save them from divorce. Disliking the media's portrayal of young divorce as "starter marriages" or "training wheel unions", the authors coined the term "mini marriage" as a more accurate way to describe their short marriages that ended before they had children. They had every intention of being wed until death do them part, but they learned the hard way that sometimes love doesn't conquer all. Not only did the authors lack the bank accounts to buy villas in Tuscany or to take a year off and travel the world following their divorces, they barely had enough money to cover their rent. What they did have was each other. Their friendship was formed online and their bond became so strong that they now consider themselves sisters, divorce sisters. You'll laugh and cry with the authors as they share with you their heartfelt stories of surviving their own mini marriages. In the final chapter, they'll reveal their secrets for moving on after a divorce and becoming young, divorced and fabulous!
