So you're tired of ghosting, red flags, and awkward first dates that feel more like job interviews? Welcome to Swipe Right on Trauma—the book that proves modern romance is basically just a scam with better filters.

This is not your typical self-help book. It won't give you 10 scientifically proven steps to find true love. It won't teach you how to manifest "The One" with crystals and moon water. And it definitely won't stop you from texting your ex at 2 AM.

What it will do is roast your bad decisions, laugh at your heartbreak, and remind you that everyone else is just as lost, confused, and emotionally damaged as you are.

From ghosting (the true Filipino national sport) to situationships (a.k.a. free trial relationships), this book is your chaotic roadmap through the disasters of dating. Along the way, you'll meet clingy Wi-Fi lovers, pabebe cuties, baristas who "definitely like you back" (they don't), and exes who somehow thrive on TikTok while you're crying in MRT Cubao station.

Inside, you'll find:

20 brutally funny chapters about modern love, heartbreak, and bad coping mechanisms.

Fake advice so bad it actually makes sense (eventually).

Real insights about boundaries, healing, and why you should stop dating people who treat you like expired GCash promos.

Enough roasts to make you laugh at your own love life instead of crying into your Jollibee spaghetti.

If you've ever…

Stalked your ex using your tita's Facebook,

Gotten a "Haha" react to your heartfelt confession,

Or blamed Mercury retrograde for your messy relationship—

…then this book was written for you.

Swipe Right on Trauma is the first book in The Modern Romance Scam Series, a chaotic trilogy about love, heartbreak, and survival in the age of memes and bad Wi-Fi. Perfect for Millennials and Gen Z readers who are tired of generic self-help books and just want something honest, funny, and painfully relatable.

Because here's the truth: love is messy. Love is weird. Love is basically public transport with bad Wi-Fi. You won't find "The One" in these pages—but you'll definitely find yourself laughing, crying, and maybe learning a thing or two (by accident).

So go ahead. Swipe, stumble, sing karaoke, get ghosted, cry, laugh, repeat. Love is a scam. But at least this time, you'll be in on the joke.
