Description

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.

  • Second Chances…

    After rereading this book, I found I was terribly harsh on Brittani. She was extremely clueless, but didn’t deserve any of what she went through. I’m glad her and Rex are safe and happy… I just hope one day she finds REAL LOVE! As for Milos…. He is the absolute worst! The very first “Influencer Hijacker”
  • Perspective and relatability

    Domestic violence is scary and traumatizing. And a huge problem today is people thinking domestic violence is an argument gone wrong with physical actions to harm the other person. This comes to show how manipulation and narcissism can alter someone’s brain to such a large extent to allow yourself to be put in dangerous situations. But it’s all just mind control that makes you seem unreasonable so this completely adjusts personalities. This stuff needs talked about more. Thank you Brittany for revealing very difficult memories to relive.

    I was looking for an online book to read for my book talk at school and I came across this book! I enjoy love stories and also a mystery book and when you put them together... BOOM! It's amazing! I definitely recommend this book. 😊

    Please don’t let this happen to you. Being a nice person etc isn’t enough to stay with someone in a relationship. You have to feel it 150%. Both of you. And be able to notice red flags right away. Don’t let love blind you. Let it guide you.

    This story was very captivating and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the whole ride. While reading this book I had laughed, cried, and felt for the author. It had actually also helped me open up about my sexual assault story. It gave me confidence knowing that if Brittani could go through this nightmare of years together and make it out ok and on top then I’ll be fine too. I really recommend this book and the story behind it is beautiful. I read the whole book within the first four days of buying it. 10/10 book. 5 stars on yelp, would recommend.

    I love Brittani’s writing style, it is like you are talking to a close friend. This was so well executed! I read it in a mere 2 days, I just loved it! I know this was a true story of her life and experience with a crazy man, but I hope she writes more books. Highly recommend!
  • LOVE THIS!

    This is by far one of my favorite non fiction books. It’s insane that this is true and it very captivating. I finished it less than 48 hours 😂 I applaud the author for staying strong for herself and her son!
