Don't leave home without it!! "the girl next-door "

Dating Up admits important, but sometimes awkward to admit, qualities that are essential in a partner. The book focuses on finding someone that is your equal and that challenges you. J. Courtney has defiantly done her research for this book and gives some specific and fantastic suggestions about how to find a quality guy. Everything from gym memberships to dating websites and recipes is covered in this fun book. It stays lighthearted and makes you laugh as she clearly identifies the losers and mistakes you have made. Every woman should carry a copy in her purse when out in the dating scene!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Ian, a male who agrees with J. Courtney

This book was great! Entertaining yet informative, and as a male in his mid-20s who has had many conversations with both quality and sleezy men, I really feel like the suggestions are good ones. I wish there were more fun and informative books like this one. Bravo!

Great book, great message

I love my copy of Dating Up. It's an easy read, and the author writes in a conversational way that made me feel as though she was one of my close friends leaning in to give me advice. This book is a great reminder of what every woman should be looking for in a man: someone who can pay for himself and, hey, who offers to treat YOU, too! It's not about finding someone rich to mooch off of but, rather, finding someone who is your social and intellectual equal. If you believe in taking care of yourself and being with someone who cares about the real you, I highly recommend this book!

I never believed in dating books until now.

This book really stands out from other dating books. I felt like J. Courtney was talking about me and my friends. She has fantastic suggestions for being more successful at the dating game while still being yourself, and the beauty tips alone are worth the purchase price.
