Abstract of the book "90 Day Fiance. Based on real story"
My first encounter with Chris happened in bed… And my attention cost him $200. But it’s not what you think — and no, this isn’t an 18+ story. This is a tale inspired by true events — a story about a dating app match that turned into something far more complicated and meaningful. It’s about two people who tried to build a connection across time zones, thousands of miles, language barriers, endless paperwork, a global pandemic, painful goodbyes… and then, war. Is a love like that worth the struggle? Is it better to walk away — or to keep fighting? If you want to know what happened to Arina and Chris, turn the page and dive in.

marina-melton30.10.2025, 00:59Teia Kalynovska, Oh... our bureaucracy pales in comparison to the local, Canadian one.
nataliya-parfenyuk28.10.2025, 10:14Hmm... This really doesn't seem much like CPR. More like a guide to survival during and after. ) And it's likely that it might actually be useful to someone. I'm glad that this real story has a truly real and happy ending. And that's the most important thing! Congratulations and Thank you

17,18 ❤️❤️❤️ I’ve mentioned that “daddy” with not-so-kind words so many times that he’s probably stuttering to half-death over there:)) And the “epilated joy” and other gossip and advice really made me laugh, and I finally thought that once upon a time, crusades were easier to organize than it is now for a Ukrainian woman to marry a Canadian:))) Thanks for the awesome chapters❤️❤️❤️

So much hassle with the trip - it's awful, but the offer was worth it❤️❤️❤️ It was interesting to read Arina's impressions of Chris's family ;) and in general, you should have been born a hundred years ago, traveling and keeping a traveler's notes:)) You’re great at noticing interesting little details and weaving humor and healthy irony into your stories. Thank you for the chapters❤️❤️❤️

Interesting chapters about preparing for the move. The romantic dialogues and practical tidbits about life in Canada are very well intertwined. Thank you for the chapter❤️❤️❤️

Wow, I even believed that Canadians are so timid ;)) until Chris pulled out that "ribbon" to the ground ))) But seriously, I like how Chris courts and his attitude towards Arina❤️❤️❤️ You don't see that often✨✨✨
marina-melton22.10.2025, 05:09Teia Kalynovska, (｡♡‿♡｡) There are plenty of all sorts in Canada too. And they were both very lucky to meet each other))

I have a real paradox. It's a great chapter, I should share my impressions, but I'm just lying here smiling. Such a warm, fun mood from reading it that I just want to enjoy it. Thanks for the chapter❤️❤️❤️

Cool. Reading it feels like sitting in the kitchen with some treats while a friend tells you all this. Long chapters, but I didn’t even notice how time flew by ❤️❤️❤️ Finally, this sweet couple is in Lviv ✨✨✨
marina-melton19.10.2025, 23:04Teia Kalynovska, :) thank you
- teia-kalinovska18.10.2025, 23:16
Wow, they made such an advertisement for Canadian men in the chapter that it took my breath away:)) A country of perfect men(•‿•) and now how am I supposed to sleep peacefully at night (≧▽≦) Thank you for such an interesting chapter❤️❤️❤️

Ugh, I've had enough of that doll :))) But I was Googling at almost one in the morning to find out who this Annabelle is! And I realized why horror movies don't impress me - most of the toys in my childhood were like that Annabelle, and it was normal (≧▽≦) I really like the completely healthy, balanced approach to communication in the dialogues between Arina and Chris. They raise very interesting topics and have a wonderful sense of humor ❤️❤️❤️
marina-melton18.10.2025, 03:45Teya Kalinovska, Yeah. We (oh, they) are like that)) In our childhood, it was still so-so, but if you look at the years long before we were born... darn those toys and costumes)))
- teia-kalinovska15.10.2025, 23:11
I like this Arina so much ;)) We love the same sport, neither of us has a vyshyvanka, we enjoy slightly "left-leaning" jokes, and not to mention that we don’t believe in fortune-tellers, but still sneak a glance in that direction. She’s my kind of person (≧▽≦)❤️❤️❤️ By the way, I wonder if Arina will learn to make varenyky?❤️

Wow, I really loved the correspondence between Chris and Arina ;). So sincere and simply human. I don’t even know how to describe the emotions, just something very forgotten, genuine, worth its weight in gold in this internet-phone swamp of communication. And the phrase "tiny friend" brought a warm smile. Thank you for such a wonderful chapter❤️❤️❤️

Oh, these prejudices about appearance. The main thing is to blow away every speck of dust :)) And then a list on five pages :))) But seriously, I really liked Chris's message. A serious man who knows what he wants from a relationship. Super. Thanks for the chapter❤️❤️❤️
marina-melton13.10.2025, 23:06Teia Kalynovska, That's for sure))) thank you for reading ❤️❤️
- teia-kalinovska12.10.2025, 22:17
Wow, what a great guy Chris is. Really, there's nothing worse than beating yourself up over missed opportunities :( By the way, a question: does Chris have a mom who loves to leave high-moral comments under the photos of his chosen one on Facebook (◠‿◕)

Today I realized what I've been missing these days! Your stories❤️❤️❤️ I started reading and immediately understood - I absolutely love the style. For some reason, I'm sure I'll say the same about the plot ❤️❤️❤️
marina-melton10.10.2025, 02:51Teya Kalynovska, I am very pleased to have readers like you, and that my work resonates with you. Just yesterday, I was thinking of you and "the snail" while writing the next chapter for a new book I’m currently working on in the genres of "humor," "irony," and "sarcasm")))❤️❤️❤️
