About this ebook

Where does a moderately popular internet star who never leaves her house look for potential suitors? Online. Tinder, Bumble, Match.com, OkCupid—I tried them all. My thirty-one-year-old self clicked and swiped her little heart out, leading to more dates than I could count, and more disappointment than I was prepared for.

 

Maybe you can relate. Maybe you know all too well the perils of modern dating. But let’s say, eventually, you meet someone. You think to yourself, “Wow, they’re perfect! Take me off the market, put a ring on it, knock me up, the whole enchilada, because they are ‘the one.’” Let’s also say that they “feel the same way” about you. Your life starts to make sense! All the pain, heartbreak, and frustration from past failed relationships was worth it. Slow clap.

 

That’s how I felt about Milos. He was from Europe, a doctor, wealthy, athletic.  He had an accent and a dog.  Milos was textbook marriage material.

 

For him it was “love at first sight,” but for me, it was “anxiety on every date.”

 

Something was telling me to run—but for two years, the only running I did was straight into his arms.

 

If only I would have listened.

 

This isn’t a love story.

 

It’s my story of survival.

Well, so...I had a lot of issues with this. I suppose I shouldn't criticize too much considering this is a true story, so I'll try to be as fair as possible. The story is definitely crazy. It seems like some insane YA novel that could never happen in real life. The only thing it's missing is magic. So, kudos to Brittani for getting through it all. That's a lot of baggage to carry and I'm sure an experience that will linger for a long time. The book is poorly written. It's hard to believe the story because it is very Wattpad YA novel in tone and style. Heavy editing would have really helped the story shine and immersed me more to make a greater impact. Instead, I set down the book like, "Huh, crazy," and then went about the rest of my day. The story is insane - the book should have been written to reflect that. Now, this is entirely a complaint that can be discounted, as it is a matter of opinion; however, it almost made me stop reading the book immediately because it turned me off so much. I found the demonization of porn to be highly distasteful. Out of all the things that were wrong with the guy, why did that seem to be in the top 2? It seemed so out of place. I am under the impression that Brittani is religious, with her views of sex before marriage, so maybe that is where the disconnect for me. If anything, I would have been pissed off solely for the fact that he was avidly watching porn when he claimed to be studying - but the emphasis seemed to be on the porn-watching itself. Just weird to me. Anyways, I honestly give this book a 2.5, but I have to round up. I hope Brittani is healing and finding her happiness with her son in the wake of all that.

Its a must read. This book is the most emotional book ive ever read. It hit so close to home, as a kid who has grown up in a abusive home. Im happy that she was strong, everyone isn't always that strong or care enough. I read this book in one day. ps. I also am not a big reader anymore and she definetely had a way to keep me on my seat, its a true stort whicb is the most sick part about it.
