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 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.

First of all, I want to say that this book contains such an important message and I am glad that she and her son did get out of this alive. I liked her telling the whole story, she tells you honestly when he was loving and then guiding us slowly into the shit show this turned out to be. The reason why this books only gets three stars is because the cover, title and the marketing are super misleading and the first quarter of the book was to romantic comedy and had too many details that weren’t necessary. The title and the cover suggest a fun and quirky read with some advice for young teenagers. What you get is a story about physical and emotional abuse and a pathological liar that nearly destroyed a woman. Why on earth would you name it »A Sucky Lovestory« giving it the look of a DIY snowflake millennial self-help book? This sadly feels like an attempt to cover a trumatic experience with smiles and glitter. I know this book is about survival, focusing on the positive and overcoming a real messed up situation but I wished Brittany wouldn’t have sugarcoated her story with such a happy outside and would respect herself a bit more. After reading this books it feels like the cover is mocking the story. Maybe they thought this look would represent the humor in this read or it is supposed to be ironic, but honestly I didn’t find it funny even tho she sometimes tried.
