This Love Story Will Self-Destruct by Leslie Cohen

5.0

I could not put this book down either! What a lovely summer read. This is a story about Eve (a neurotic 20 something who chooses to get into relationships with complicated men) and Ben, an engineer who is logical, methodical and a shockingly good guy. Their paths cross a lot throughout college and their early 20's until they finally date. You hear the story from both Eve and Ben's side in alternating chapters and their ebbs and flows within their relationship as well.

I loved the themes of family trauma, PTSD, anxiety etc and how it effects us in relationships. I identified with some of it greatly, but obviously I am not exactly like Eve. I feel a lot of people could identify with Eve though. The depths of Eve's neuroses were believable and adorable, albeit cringe-worthy at times. A recommended summer read!
