Who Let the Dogs Out?

Dating after divorce can feel like a nightmare – but it doesn't have to be one! From the Founder of Divorced Girl Smiling and host of the Divorced Girl Smiling Podcast comes a very real, very heartwarming, and at times, utterly hilarious guide to surviving the dogs of dating, to identify the breed of love you'd like to bring home the next time around.
Following her divorce at age 41, Jackie found herself back on the dating scene and wrangling a pack of mostly loveable, but issue-ridden men she now compares to dogs: The Bichon Frisé (The Hot & Cold Guy), the Golden Retriever (The Way Too Nice Guy), and the Jack Russell Terrier (The Cheater), to name a few.
But with the help of her friends and family, a good therapist, a few bottles of pinot, regular kickboxing classes, and a lot of self-reflection, Jackie learned something valuable from each dating disaster, especially about what she wanted and deserved in life and love. So, when the Goldendoodle (The Hot Baseball Coach) crossed her path, she was ready for the most wildly romantic, healthiest, and happiest relationship she's ever known.
An affectionate, funny, and authentic portrait of post-divorce life, Who Let the Dogs Out? will help you:
• Quickly identify your dates' red flags.
