About this listen
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.

Story
Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction." She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income. In I’m Glad My Mom Died, Jennette recounts all this in unflinching detail.

We've seen awkward and adorable Q&As with his mom, weight-loss center drama, love life details, and the all-important haircut reveal. We've seen his hilarious spoofs of Miley Cyrus, Paris Hilton, and Sarah Palin. His music videos are awesome.

In her late 20s, Cait Flanders found herself stuck in the consumerism cycle that grips so many of us: earn more, buy more, want more, rinse, repeat. Even after she worked her way out of nearly $30,000 of consumer debt, her old habits took hold again. When she realized that nothing she was doing or buying was making her happy - only keeping her from meeting her goals - she decided to set herself a challenge: she would not shop for an entire year. The Year of Less documents Cait's life for 12 months during which she bought only consumables.

Story
The first story Selma Blair Beitner ever heard about herself is that she was a mean, mean baby. With her mouth pulled in a perpetual snarl and a head so furry it had to be rubbed to make way for her forehead, Selma spent years living up to her terrible reputation: biting her sisters, lying spontaneously, getting drunk from Passover wine at the age of seven, and behaving dramatically so that she would be the center of attention. In a memoir that is as wildly funny as it is emotionally shattering, Blair tells the captivating story of growing up and finding her truth.

Story
Jenny Mollen is a writer and actress living in New York. Until two years ago, her life was exciting, sexy, a little eccentric, and 100 percent impulsive. She had a husband who embraced her crazy - who understood her need to occasionally stalk around the house in his ex-girlfriend's old beach caftans and to invite their drug dealer to Passover seder (so he wouldn't feel like they were using him only for drugs). Then they had their son, Sid, and overnight Jenny was forced to grow up: to be responsible, to brush her hair, to listen to her voice mail.

Half-Korean, half-Japanese, Masaji Ishikawa has spent his whole life feeling like a man without a country. This feeling only deepened when his family moved from Japan to North Korea when Ishikawa was just thirteen years old, and unwittingly became members of the lowest social caste. His father, himself a Korean national, was lured to the new Communist country by promises of abundant work, education for his children, and a higher station in society. But the reality of their new life was far from utopian.

Soon they were in love, and when he proposed after a month it seemed recklessly romantic. Caught up in a whirlwind, Mary accepted that Will’s work often took him away from home, out of contact. She was his rock, supporting him emotionally when a misunderstanding led to criminal charges, and even selling everything when blackmailers threatened to kidnap their children. Together, they took on the world.

It seems like a small price for Adrienne to pay to get their baby. And with Gabe suddenly onboard, what could possibly go wrong?

"You'll change your mind." That's what everyone says to Jen Kirkman - and countless women like her - when she confesses she doesn't plan to have children. But you know what? It's hard enough to be an adult. You have to dress yourself and pay bills and remember to buy birthday gifts. You have to drive and get annual physicals and tip for good service. Some adults take on the added burden of caring for a tiny human being with no language skills or bladder control.

Entertaining and insightful!
I loved that this story was told as if we were living it with Brittani. Telling it in this way makes it easy for people who haven’t been in abusive relationships to understand how so many women find themselves falling for these people and stuck in the abusive cycle. I was also conned by my first love, not to the this extreme but women need to be more aware to protect themselves! This is an entertaining story and good audiobook!

Unbelievable!
I was a fan of Brittani from the start of her Youtube career. I lived for her videos with Shane Dawson where they acted as Miley and Manders. She always seemed like the sweetest girl ever and I would have never suspected her to end up with a psychopath. I mean beside being sweet, she seemed to be a pretty smart girl. However, her story just proved that even the sweetest and smartest of girls can be played by a guy that seems to be the perfect prince charming. This is a great cautionary tale for anyone out there who is currently dating. Remember to take precautions at all times and do not stay in a toxic relationship at all. The reason why I gave it 4 stars is because the way she would read certain sentences irritated me. For example, when she would get at the end of sentences she would read them in a way that did not indicate it was the end of that clause. It seemed like it was a dependent clause and there was going to be more but that was not the case. She would also put emphasis on some words that did not need to be emphasized, so it sounded awkward. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone. It is an enjoyable book with a great moral.

Amazingly Sick Realationship!
I was engrossed in the story and couldn't wait to hear what would happen next throughout most of the book. The ending was almost beyond belief but very satisfying. I felt I knew the author by the time it was finished. The character of her boyfriend was well drawn - if this were a novel I would have said he was not credible but he obviously really existed.. The entertainment value was great - too bad it really happened, but the author was very candid and seemed to have survived it very well. I wish I could say more but don't want to spoil the suspense, which was strong.
The narration was perfect in my opinion - for one thing, it was the actual voice of the person who had these incredible experiences. It made the listening experience authentic in a way no professional narrator could.
Highly recommended. If this review helps you decide to read it, I'm glad. If not, you are missing an amazing story. Either way, please indicate if you found this review helpful so I can improve my efforts. Thanks!

Moving
Been watching BLT since 2010 and I’m so proud that she was so brave to speak up.
The book is well written and like everyone else, I couldn’t stop reading(in this case, listening)
I have the hard cover copy and will share the book to my younger siblings so they (hopefully) wont make the mistakes BLT did and if they do, they do whatever possible to get out!
Thank you for sharing your story with all of us, Brittani!

LOVE THIS STORY -- so proud of Brittani
I've been a fan of Brittani's for a long time! Since she was doing videos with Shane... I also got pregnant the same year as her... my baby was due Feb 2017, so when she was posting videos of her Pregnancy and her relationship I could TOTALLY relate... Especially since I got pregnant with my then NEWLY boyfriends... an oopsie doopsie but literally the best decision of my life.. I could relate but then not relate because my boyfriend (now husband) ended up being the best spouse and father to my baby and I. Tore me up reading about how terrible everything ended up for her... And her mom, just because you could be watching the vlogs and see her in the background...
The book was fantastic, I wish it was fairy tale because brittani derserves that but her story will help a lot of people in the same circumstances. Loved her audible narration too!

inspiring. Brittani's strength and love is amazing. Her ferocity for her sons safety and her own wellbeing is empowering and I hope it helps people realize that they have the power to re-write their own sucky love story.

Great Memoir
It’s was a great memoir!! Had me guessing what happened? Did he die? was he killed? Her voice irritates me at first, a bit annoying, but it grew on me. Overall this book was fantastic!! I don’t regret the purchase.

Necessary read!
Listened to the audiobook on my flight home to LA, definitely worthwhile. Although I'm still not a fan of the book cover (the marketing of the book in general), I can still appreciate the content. It's an easy read and well paced. I'd recommend it to anyone who's new to the dating scene, or anyone who's been taught to believe staying is the only option in a relationship.
