Simplemente maravilloso lo único que me faltó es la reacción de Ed al recibir la caja el después por el resto simplemente espectacular
Wow wow wow. That is all I can say about this book. Why did I not know that Daniel Handler is Lemony Snicker? Finding this out after I read the book, I realize that it makes so much sense. The weirdness, the unanswered questions, the parts that leave you hanging, it makes so much sense. This book. This book, this book, this book. It was amazing. That is all I will say about it. If anything, you should pick it up. Beautiful.

I’ve always loved when writing can make small moments seem so much bigger. When the personable things can feel as important as the end of the world. When you can see your own life in the traces of a story, your own feeling, like the book is just a template for your own experiences. And that’s what I found in this book. I loved the run on sentences, even when it tired me out, and I loved the realism of it all, the mistakes and the doubt and the feeling of not enough and more than enough all at once.

I like quick dialogue but this was a strange read. I would read quickly through the conversations but then I would get lost and have to go back. I wanted to know why they broke up but I also just wanted the long narrative paragraphs to end.
“i’m not different, not at all, not different from any other speck of a thing. i’m a blemished blemish, a ruined ruin, a stained wreck so failed i can’t see what i used to be. i’m nothing, not a single thing. the only particle i had, the only tiny thing raising me up, is that i was ed slaterton’s girlfriend, loved by you for like ten secs, and who cares, so what, and not anymore so how embarrassing for me. how wrong to think i was anyone else...”

Overall, I enjoyed this book. The idea of telling a love story through a breakup letter was something that I haven't seen before. However, the plot was a little cliche.
This book was simply beautiful. From the writing, to the illustrations, to everything in between. Handler made you feel everything Min was feeling and you really felt for her. Another thing I liked was that we got to experience the beginning to the end of Min and Ed's relationship. It was so cool to the progression it made and to see how in love they became with each other. I felt for Min at the plot twist in the book, when she found out that Ed was cheating on her. You could feel the love she had for him just come crashing down. Min was one of my favorite characters, I loved her spunk, and how she was as a person. I never cared that much for Ed, but in the end, I couldn't stand him. I did have a reading slump and so much school work during reading this work and it took a while to finish it. Nevertheless, I did enjoy it!
I adored the illustrations found throughout the book - being able to have a image of the objects Min was writing about and then be able to look back on them, and tie them back to events in the book made it feel even more personal. The writing style also contributes to the very personal and realistic feel to the book! (sometimes, however, I did have to kind of back track whenever two characters were speaking, or when there was a lengthy sentence and Min interjected halfway through, so I kind of had a love/hate relationship with it)
Overall, I liked that this book had a very realistic feel when it comes to teenage relationships! It was an enjoyable read, and kind of made me feel like I was going through a breakup myself.
