"A good laugh, which is also good healing, and a compass for hope"

"A comedy teacher once told me that what’s funny comes from truth plus time. And that’s this book... Aleks Filmore looks back on some rough relationships, but with enough passage of time that he can be very humorous. We’ve all been there — at least a little bit if not a lotta bit. I think the book can help people recover from their own debacles of relationships and laugh, which is healing in itself. The Worst Boyfriends Ever is also a compass for hope."

"Sex and the City meets a therapy session"

"This book had me laughing and cringing from the very first story. The author delivers a punchy, witty, and sharply observed collection of dating catastrophes that are as entertaining as they are painfully familiar. It's like Sex and the City meets a therapy session — if the therapist had zero filter and an incredible sense of humor. Highly recommend this for a beach read, a post-breakup laugh, or just whenever you need to feel not-alone in the absurd world of dating."

"Hilarious, Relatable, and Strangely Therapeutic"

"I cannot remember the last time a book made me laugh out loud so frequently. The author has a true gift for recounting a disastrous dating life in a way that feels less like a series of calamities and more like a grand adventure. The descriptions are painfully accurate, yet delivered with such humour that past heartaches suddenly seem like experiences to be learned from and laughed about."

"Hilarious, Raw, and Relatable"

"If you've ever survived a dating disaster and lived to laugh about it, this will hit home in the best way. Aleks takes us on a chaotic journey naming every trainwreck along the way — like the Gambler, the Ghoster, and the Party Animal. Each chapter is a wild story, full of cringeworthy moments, wit, and sharp self-awareness. It's brutally honest but never self-pitying."

"A hilarious Bedazzled version of dating life — get this on Netflix!"

"These stories are so funny and out there that, as I was reading them, they reminded me of the movie Bedazzled, a dating version of it. I imagined that, with each failed relationship, Aleks wishes for a new and improved person without the vices and defects of the previous ones, only to end up in an even worse situation. Someone please get this in the hands of Netflix, this deserves screen time!"

"Like sitting down with a friend who’s survived the worst"

"As a lesbian adult, this memoir felt like sitting down with a friend who’s survived the worst and grown stronger. The stories are raw, hilarious, and painfully familiar. It’s a wild ride through queer dating, but packed with heart and truth. A beautiful reminder that healing is possible and growth comes through the mess. And trust me, I have been through some messes."

"The writing is sharp, hilarious, and brutally honest — no sugarcoating"

"It’s like reading texts from a friend who’s had the worst dates but somehow makes you laugh till you snort. The writing is sharp, hilarious, and brutally honest — no sugarcoating, but somehow still hopeful? It’s not just 'bad date stories,' it’s like watching someone figure out their worth one chaotic chapter at a time."

"Every story feels like that one friend spilling tea over brunch!"

"Filmore's book is a chaotic, laugh-out-loud ride through some truly unforgettable dating disasters. From the guy who 'borrowed' his credit card to the ghoster who popped up with a casual 'u up?' after disappearing for days, every story hits that perfect mix of cringe and comedy. It’s not neat or tied up with life lessons, but that’s exactly what makes it feel real."

"Messy, Hilarious, and Way Too Real"

"This book reads like swapping wild dating stories with your most brutally honest friend — equal parts hilarious, cringey, and strangely uplifting. Relatable, chaotic, and refreshingly real, it proves none of us are alone in our disasters. A super fun ride from start to finish."

"Queer chaos at its finest — devoured it in two sittings"

"This book is like reading your own worst dating stories — but funnier and with better comebacks. Equal parts cringe and catharsis. I devoured it in two sittings."

"Funny, Messy, and Real"

"This memoir is so funny, filled with disastrous dates and not-so-good mates. Anyone can relate and either had a date like that or heard about it from friends. If not, this book will open your eyes to the real dates of someone who is looking for love but keeps getting anything but that. You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, but still feel hopeful at the end."

"Must read! Laughing, cringing, and nodding in recognition"

"This book had me laughing, cringing, and nodding in recognition the whole way through! It is the perfect mix of sharp humor and painfully relatable dating disasters. If you’ve ever dated someone and thought 'what was I thinking?', this book is for you."

"An insightful and hilarious walk down memory lane"

"I really enjoyed this book. It made me laugh through many a page. And it also made me think back on some of my own relationships that didn’t work out in the ways I had hoped. It’s so easy to want the person you’re with to be the person you want. Sometimes all those red flags are super obvious to everyone else except us. Overall it’s a book I would definitely recommend."

"An Honest Take on Modern Dating"

"I really enjoyed reading this book, having thought it would be a fun read. I found it to be pretty insightful and informative, really examining different personality types and relationship red flags. It gives you the tools to step back and evaluate."

"Hilarious and totally relatable — snorting with laughter"

"It’s raw and honest without being heavy. I found myself snorting with laughter on my commute. A must-read for anyone who has ever navigated the circus of modern dating."

"Messy, Hilarious, and Weirdly Healing"

"A memoir that hits where it hurts and helps. Aleks names the exact psychological traps we fall into while keeping the energy ridiculously entertaining and profoundly human."

"Funnier than therapy"

"Brutally funny, insightful, and strangely comforting. Reading about someone else's dating trainwrecks with this level of wit is genuinely better than a therapy session."

"Brutally honest! The romantic delusions were my favorite"

"This book is so entertaining — probably because most of us can relate to a lot of it! The romantic delusions were my favorite. I could see myself in those scenarios so well. If you need a good laugh and a reality check, pick this up."

"BF Red Flags Detector"

"I enjoyed this book for its humor and the ability to poke fun at the various types of guys and the pitfalls of getting involved with them. There were some types that I related to all too well."

"Chaos, Comedy, and the Relief I Needed"

"Reading this was like taking a giant exhale. You realize that dating failures aren't personal flaws — they're just data. Aleks delivers that lesson wrapped in pure comedy."

"A Hilarious, Heartfelt Dive into Queer Dating Disasters"

"An unapologetic, vibrant celebration of queer dating in all its messy glory. Equal parts comedic roast and gentle self-reckoning."

"Dating chaos meets healing"

"Between the absurd dates and the laugh-out-loud moments, there's a really tender core about learning when to walk away and how to reclaim your dignity."

"10/10! Couldn't put it down"

"Finished in one sitting. Aleks’s voice is so engaging, honest, and funny. Perfect companion for a weekend or long drive."

"Laughing Through the Chaos"

"It takes real skill to write about heartbreak and make it genuinely hilarious. Filmore nails the balance between pure entertainment and real emotional resonance."
