Too few books have illustrations these days. I picked up this book on clearance because I was attracted by the artwork. I wanted to read on to find out what else was in the break up box. Daniel Handler is an amusing writer who writes well from the teenage female voice.

Wowee I'm sad but it's the good kind of sad I think? So many things so many things.
1. Ed is the worst
2. I love Min
3. I have never experienced that kind of heartbreak and break up and I hope I NEVER DO.
4. I enjoyed the writing style for the most part even though sometimes it got to be a little too much and I felt my eyes skipping down past to the next part.
5. All in all pretty good.

Až strašidelně jsem se v tom příběhu poznávala, ale je škoda, že to nebylo tak poloviční. Je to fajn čtění, ale zbytečně natahované až do občasné nudy. Fakt škoda.
Gave up on finishing this one. Really couldn't get into it!
I hate the never ending run-on sentences of Min, and all those movie references that I could never relate to. It kinda gives you an idea of why Ed would cheat on her. I just endured reaching the end of this book for the real reason as to why they broke up. The story was kind of predictable. I feel like the amount of time I’ve waited to finally read this book just went to waste. I love the illustrations though, it kept my interest to flip the pages.

Ugh. Why is Maira Kalman so awesome, and yet this book is otherwise obnoxious and dull and problematic? Bleh. So disappointed. Thought it would be amazing. Instead, it's like so many other white guys' interpretations of girls' feelings.
I felt like some of those artifacts were my ex-boyfriend things, the high school ring I left in a box on his doorstep with a book he'd loaned me, the love note and birthday card I still have, somewhere, hidden in a closet... I loved this book. Min was telling my story, my ex-stories, and it was like re-living the sadness and rage and blame and joy and lust and remorse and that feeling of finally being done with that guy none of your friends liked and your mom didn't trust but damn if you didn't love him anyway, knowing it would end, and badly, and sooner than later at that.
Great book. Made me feel all the feelings.

Breakups are rough, and man, this one was rough. Any girl who has been through a breakup could relate to some portion of this story. The overall premise, returning the box full of his stuff. Ouch.
