“Using her personal experience and stories from her practice, Elliott provides sound advice…as the end of a relationship can be much like the death of a loved one, Elliott also reviews the grief process and its importance in processing loss…the payoff should be steady progress toward a mended heart, a clear conscience and a stronger sense of self.”
“This book is valuable to anyone struggling to get past a loss, or get over those behaviors and thought patterns that seem to keep leading to broken relationships.
The tools are priceless, and the inspiration to come out on top is what really makes this book stand out in the ocean of other self-help titles out there.”

Jen’s “Book a Day” Book Review of Getting Past Your Breakup:
“It’s not one of those “your ex is evil and you are fabulous” books. It’s written in a calm, soothing tone that makes no judgements against who dumped the reader. It focuses on how the dumpee can start putting the past relationship in the past and then move ahead.”

Book Review at Breakup B*tch
“Elliott takes you through a hard time and turns it into a positive (if tough) experience. She is not your best girlfriend - she is more like a helpful counselor getting your through the hard days. She has a huge following and her reviews on Amazon reflect this (five stars all the way). A worthwhile book to have on your bookshelf.”
