In "You Can Be Right (or You Can Be Married)," Dana Adam Shapiro takes us on a deeply personal journey through the heart of modern matrimony.

Through the voices of hundreds of divorcees, Shapiro uncovers the raw truths of love's labors lost, weaving together a tapestry of tales that are as enlightening as they are enthralling. Shapiro's work transcends the mere recounting of romantic failures, emerging as a treasure trove of insights into the dynamics of commitment, love, and the elusive quest for everlasting partnership. "You Can Be Right (or You Can Be Married)" offers a provocative, no-holds-barred look into the lives of those who dared to find "The One," only to find themselves navigating the aftermath of their unions' unravelling. This book is not just a voyeuristic glimpse into the private lives of others, but a beacon of hope and a practical guide for those brave enough to believe in the possibility of love enduring. Shapiro's masterful storytelling invites readers into a world where the lessons gleaned from the failures of others light the path toward a future where love, in its most real and flawed form, can truly triumph.
