This Love Story Will Self-Destruct by Leslie Cohen

2.0

When I first heard about TLSWSD, I was totally into it. I read some great reviews and after reading the synopsis I was all in. I wasn’t sure what I was expecting but I found the story lacking. I can’t even say exactly what it was, I honestly just wasn’t invested. Eve in my opinion came off bratty and had some commitment issues. Totally understandable, but after a while it became repetitive. I can’t stand someone who continuously blames their past for why they are the way they are. Like if you want to change, change. It really is that simple, and Eve was all about blaming everything and everyone for why she was the way that she was. Ben, I liked. He was a little too nice, but he really was the perfect guy for Eve. I like that he was nice but he was still assertive and just didn’t let Eve get away with shit. He was honest, and I loved that about his character. Overall the story was OK. It just didn’t really hold my attention. For me, I just wasn’t emotionally invested in the characters or the story. I thought the writing was good, it was just not for me I guess.
