Always love yourself first, be cautious of giving love too soon, you should make a conscious effort to make sure that you’re getting loyalty, honesty, respect and dedication from the other person before you give in to the emotion of love. Keep in mind love can’t be turned off like a faucet if the other person becomes problematic. How many times have you heard of someone staying in a toxic relationship they obviously shouldn’t be in and the reason is that they love that person? In my opinion, you don’t have to be in love first for a marriage to work. Make sure the other person is worthy of you loving them first.

This book is a really good read, it was awesome and hilarious. I think it should be made into a movie. I thought about the movie “Friday” but this book in my opinion was more funny.

I want to say that I loved reading this book!!! Although I didn’t finish it in one sitting like I could have, I know that I did not want to put the book down because I wanted to see what was going to happen in the next chapter. I love Meanie Me’s character! There is definitely a motivating and positive message in this book, and that is that against all odds, with focus and perseverance, you can be like a Phoenix and rise above the ashes of your situation and succeed. The one-liners and jokes throughout the book had me rolling on the floor laughing, which made it such a fun story to read. Kudos to the author for weaving together the intricacies of life so well.

Preston Nelson's book "Love is a Losing Game" is enticing, earthy and relatable, obviously from the opposite perspective of a woman..hahahaha. Eye opening! I loved it!

We all know that love don't love nobody and that if you want love you must give love. When you give tainted love, it usually creates bitter and unforgiving, irreparable feelings and can turn deceitful actions into a one sided hill causing love to be a losing game for some. This book puts deceit on blast and let's the reader know that you can't walk into relationships with your eyes wide shut and that time doesn't always heal. The way Preston delivers the message in this book, you can't unring that bell! Real talk.

I love how authentic this book was. It got real and showed various stages of a relationship from beginning to end, good and bad. Preston did a great job telling his story. I can’t wait for the next book!
-
Enjoyed the read. Very realistic. The truth about love and being in love. I think we all have been down that road before.

All I can say is, “Wow”! This was a very candid memoir. I love the way Preston was able to give details about not only what happened but also his thoughts and feelings when he was going through this relationship.
I can tell that it was cathartic for Mr. Nelson to document his experiences and vindicate himself from any blame he may have had to endure.
The clear message and theme in this book are for a person to do their best to control the emotion of love until they know that they can trust the other person and that loyalty and respect are reciprocated.
One of life’s biggest lessons is to love yourself first and when you do that you may be able to discern the red flags in the other person before getting in too deep. On pages 65 through 66, he eloquently puts the mindset of Tina into perspective. This knowledge of her personality type helps people understand a sneaky person's otherwise random, out-of-nowhere, bizarre actions.
This book is one you will not want to put down until you have completed it! It was exciting and a constant page-turner with much anticipation of what would happen next!
-
This one is definitely a page turner from beginning to end.
I could not put it down. It touched on things about love and being in love that some people can relate to who have been in relationships and were hurt. Highly recommend, great read. Don’t hesitate go out and get it!

This book is thrilling! I was drawn in from page one all the way to the end. You can tell the author has a true love for story telling and makes you feel as if you were there as he recounts each moment in the chapters. I really enjoyed the message of this story of logic over love and will take that with me to use in my own life.
We’ll done!
