This Love Story Will Self-Destruct by Leslie Cohen
2.0
Let me start by saying I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an HONEST review.
That being said: I hated it. Eve was truly insufferable. She was a garbage person I could not stand from the beginning. At 37% (kindle) I had to force myself to keep going. Ben (our other lead) doesn’t even come into the story until the halfway point. Ben was a gem and didn’t get nearly enough of a plot or character development. When he entered the story, it was a relief because it meant dealing with Eve a little less. The fact that he tolerated her and put up with her (for lack of a better term) “quirks” boggles my mind.
And the italics. FOR THE LOVE, the italics. Pages and pages and pages of Eve’s thoughts in italics made me feel like I was losing my mind.
The writing was well done. I just really hated the story. I wanted to like it so much.
