“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." AARP.org, 5/13/15 "Spare, straightforward and full of good advice on how to tell a good person from a bad one, how to figure out what you want and how not to compromise your core principles. Elliott's true-life case histories are told with compassion, helping the reader gain courage and insight. This is a truly encouraging work for people who have lived a while but could use a gentle nudge to 'get back out there.'" LGBT Weekly , 7/28/15 "This is a book about love, but it's different: this one helps you do the homework first, so you're truly ready to dip your toes into the dating pool again." Marie Claire (UK), "The 8 Best Break-Up Books," 10/2/15 "Read it if you want to feel like you're the best thing he never had...With tips and strategies for everything from how to be by yourself to Not Calling Him, Elliott's no-nonsense approach has made this break-up bible one of the most popular self-help books on the subject worldwide."”
