1.15.2018 - This Love Story will Self-Destruct

This Love Story Will Self-Destruct

Thanks so much to Netgalley, Gallery Books and Leslie Cohen for the opportunity to read and review her debut novel - loved it!

This is just an easy-to-read, sweet love story.  Boy meets girl, life interferes story.  Told in alternating voices of Eve, a damaged young woman trying to cope with her dad's desertion and her mom's death, and Ben, a logical, engineer type.  They meet at Columbia University and continue to cross paths while each are moving on with their lives and other people.  This story follows each of their paths and their eventual coming together.

I upgraded this to 5 stars because of how much I loved the characters, especially Ben.  Eve was a funny, quirky character even while she was so insecure and untrusting.  Ben is a structural engineer - and I'm married to one so I loved his own quirks and mannerisms, although so different from Eve's.

A great read - highly recommended!.
