Reviews

InfoDad blog, 1/29/15 "Elliott deserves credit for tackling so many issues involved in post-breakup life and for handling them in a plainspoken way...Her willingness to discuss everything from specific sexual issues to the right time to introduce children to a new partner is admirable. On balance, her statement that 'this is a different kind of dating book' is accurate, and Getting Back Out There is a useful counterbalance to more-superficial books about dating and mating." Publishers Weekly, 12/1/14 "Elliott offers readers humble and perceptive advice for recovering from heartbreak and reentering the dating world...Elliott's wisdom--well reasoned, unassuming, and based on experience--is not to be missed." Library Journal, December 2014 "Extremely encouraging for those who wish to build a healthy relationship and get on with life." Hudson Valley News, 2/20/15 "The most valuable part of the book...is the collection of love stories at the end." Bookviews Blog, March 2015 "[Elliott] does not shy from the fact that exes, children, and boyfriends with kids are components of the modern dating scene."
