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.'", 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.
