I feel like it's hard to really "Review" this book because it is based off a true story and it is a heartbreaking story about Domestic Abuse about this man that Brittani fell in love with and had a child with that was just a horrible person.
The story starts out pretty normal... Brittani met him on Tinder and she didn't totally trust him at first because he asked her out and then he didn't talk to her at all the day they were supposed to go out. She agreed to meet with him anyway and he just kind of kept asking her out. She had her guard up at first, but eventually he told a little more of his story and Brittani fell for him completely.
Now I had watched Brittani's videos for years and she had always mentioned that she was waiting until marriage to... well you know. So when she posted a video called "I'm engaged and pregnant" I was a little shocked... and to be honest the story felt a little sudden and kind of strange. They were "engaged" before she got pregnant I think? But it was just very sudden and the story seemed kind of... weird.
My thoughts on that aside... the book kind of explains everything that was happening behind those videos. All of his verbal abuse, the fights with his mom, the lies about... basically every aspect of his life. I don't really want to spoil the book... but the man Brittani meets in the beginning of the story is just someone that her fiance made up... Brittani still doesn't know if a lot of the details he was telling were true or not. There was a woman that claimed to be his mother... but at the end of the book she wasn't so sure. She also wasn't sure if he really was a doctor or not... or if his name was even real. There was just a lot that she admits at the end of the book to this day she still has no idea.
I really don't want to give too many details of this story because I really want everyone to go and read this for yourselves. It's hard to find now- but it is available on Barnes and Noble (their website and in some stores) and she's rushing to reprint it now. But Brittani is a really fantastic writer. She has a good true story to tell and she's a great narrator. Her voice in the book is so strong... I don't listen to audiobooks, but this one would probably be a great one because she's finally getting her voice out there and she has a really strong voice because of it.
This book is amazing. Highly recommend... it does not take long to read at all because it is so suspenseful you kind of need to read it all at once... it is just a great one.
Bye! Hope you like this review!
