Fall in love. Get married. Turn to your female friends to be truly understood. Friends for over a decade, Amanda and Sophie decide it’s time to flip the script. Why not spend their lives with each other and keep men on the side for fun, sex, and occasionally fixing things around the house? Amanda is a lawyer who excels in her professional life but crumbles at the slightest sign of a common cold. Sophie is an aspiring artist who has lived all over the world and doesn’t crumble, period. Together, they’ve been through it all. But when their romantic lives implode at the same time, they decide enough is enough. Enough pretending that traditional relationships work for everyone. Enough fantasizing about an old-fashioned ideal. They decide to form an alliance: They will rely on each other and give men the secondary role that they deserve. And much to their surprise, it actually works. They fix up a run-down brownstone and create the home they’ve always wanted. Soon, they have love and emotional support as well as a wide variety of male “crushes” on the side. But when one of their crushes becomes something more, Amanda and Sophie must reconsider the life they’ve begun to build and how far they’re willing to go to keep it. In this brilliantly funny novel, Leslie Cohen asks: must friendship always be second to love? This is female friendship at its finest. Smart. Witty. And no holds barred. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a3a1309b793028c1082b4b/1621696341127-LC3V3JWQWPG8QP3UFQEM/35297349._UY2224_SS2224_.jpg Books - THIS LOVE STORY WILL SELF-DESTRUCT Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

She studied English and creative writing at Columbia University. Inspired by a combination of Jack Kerouac, James Joyce and Sex and the City, she composed many brooding personal essays that she hopes nobody remembers. Her first job was at a magazine called Outdoor Life, where she wrote about hunting and fishing, even though she knew very little about either. While working there, she received an unlimited supply of beef jerky and camouflaged clothing, which didn’t really suit her Manhattan lifestyle. So she moved to Colorado and penned a weekly music column for the Aspen Daily News, which was widely read, despite only occasionally referencing the subject of music. Upon returning to New York, she began writing fiction. She is the author of Summer Skate, This Love Story Will Self-Destruct and My Ride or Die. She lives on the Upper West Side with her husband and two children. https://www.lesliecohenauthor.com/other-work daily 0.75 2026-02-03 https://www.lesliecohenauthor.com/my-ride-or-die daily 0.75 2025-12-24 https://www.lesliecohenauthor.com/contact daily 0.75 2022-11-18 https://www.lesliecohenauthor.com/home-1 daily 1.0 2025-12-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a3a1309b793028c1082b4b/4a7acf96-8fc9-465b-91ad-728f90b636e0/808-1-25-2.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a3a1309b793028c1082b4b/f63f2fcd-4246-437a-bb8b-580f46eed5f2/Rolling-Stone-Logo-2019white.png https://www.lesliecohenauthor.com/summer-skate daily 0.75 2025-12-25
