Summary

What if falling in love meant almost losing everything?

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 31-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.

an intriguing story with some narration problems

The constant upticks in the narrator's voice were irritating at times and distracted from the story. It is her story and she should be the one to tell it I just wish she received some coaching first.

Just whoa...

I started listening this with no clue as to what had happened. I used to watch Brittani's YouTube videos but stopped around the time she had Rex because I too, had my daughter. To come across her book and hear just how a relationship that looked so magical in videos had been so horrific - I'm speechless. Books don't usually make me cry but I had tears rolling down my cheek during this, especially the ending.

Not my usual read but enjoyed it.

Very engaging lady. A modern love story with a bitter twist. Really felt like she was telling me her story over coffee.

A little boring until the last 3 chapters

Brittany is very passionate over this story. But it's not as interesting as she portrays it to be. She's not a likeable protagonist, I sense an underlying tone of righteousness the way she expresses how she was a virgin until the age of 32. She often used language such as "I'm not like those other girls" and "I made sure my shorts weren't too slutty". Bragging how she impatiently waited for him to text her as she had to follow the "dating rules". It was as if she wrote the book ten years ago. Also she claimed she married him as "Our relationship had to endure what most people would never have to go through". What a presumptuous and pretentious line! She has no idea what the average person has to go through.

Simply astonishing!

For the first 12 chapters, it is a bit dull. You question why Brittani mentions all these little moments that seem to have no relevance. But as soon as you get to chapter 13, everything takes a turn. Everything adds up, this is the craziest story I have ever read and the fact that it is a true story is absolutely heart wrenching. If like me, you are on the first half of the book and are getting a bit bored, PLEASE continue to read until the end. Everything adds up and makes sense. A fantastic read written by an inspirational survivor!

Interesting story, odd writing

As somehow who listens to books quite frequently, the difference in writing here (Very personal, she has her own asides rather than keeping to the story) was kind of jarring. However, it kept me hooked and helped me sympathise with Britanni, without knowing who she was (Never seen her YouTube channel before). Would recommend but be cautious of the personal writing

amateur

I feel Brittani should have played to her strengths and turned her story into a video of some sort instead, as this book has an interesting story poorly executed. An unbelievably naive and often narcissistic narrator, dropping sexist remarks, amateur writing, and also making some interesting choices in her vocal delivery. Her marketing campaign has clearly been very effective however I just don't think the book is worth spending money on reading or listening to.

Okay

It's okay but it's not exciting or well written. Its still worth the read though.

Inspiring and emotional

I am at a loss for words.
Brittani is by far the strongest person out there.
Bless them.
