Longlisted for the Center For Fiction First Novel Prize and named a Big Indie Book of Fall 2016.

Publishers Weekly Boxed / Starred Review: "...Watching how these characters intersect is incredibly satisfying.  In clear and vivid prose, Kauffman potently depicts lonely and isolated lives, marked by rash decisions made in the hope of finding connection.  By the end of the novel, the pieces of the puzzle that is Tracy's life fit together, her disappointments as much a part of her as her small victories, resulting in an undeniably moving and emotionally true portrayal of the kitchen sink of human experience."

Another Place You've Never Been is included among the Huffington Post's 20 Books You'll Need For Your Shelf in Fall 2016.  "Fans of the vignette style of Richard Linklater’s “Boyhood” might enjoy Rebecca Kauffman’s take on the roman à clef...It’s an inventive debut that’s already been compared to Jennifer Egan’s A Visit from the Goon Squad."

Library Journal Starred Review: "Kauffman's immediately involving novel-in-stories, delivered in crisp language and with a strong sense of the characters....Verdict: While a series of stories don't always add up to a novel, this is an accomplished debut - at times emotionally gritty but always emotionally true."
