About this listen

 'An honest and helpful guide to what happens when life doesn't go according to plan. I know so many people who need this.' Elizabeth Day

'Dear Eve Simmons, your husband has applied for a divorce,' it read.
All I was required to do was click the link enclosed and select if I agreed or disagreed. I ticked the box titled 'agree', bit off a chunk of my nail and looked at the screen, thinking, now what?

What happens when 'happily ever after' ends too soon?

Eve Simmons had the life she thought she wanted: love, a home, a future, security. Then, overnight, it was gone. Her husband left with no explanation. No conversation. No closure.

Thrown into a heartbreak she never saw coming, the award-winning journalist did what she does best: she investigated. What she discovered was startling - her story wasn't rare. A growing number of women are being blindsided by sudden, unexplained break-ups. Some are mourning long-term relationships and others marriages that had barely begun.

In What She Did Next, Simmons blends gripping memoir with original reporting to uncover the hidden dynamics driving modern lovers apart, from emotional avoidance and burnout to shifting expectations of intimacy.

This is a powerful, timely book of love, loss and the courage to begin again.©2026 Eve Simmons Divorce & Separation Personal Development Personal Success Relationships Marriage Heartfelt
