I absolutely love this book. The format is brilliant, but the characters, dialogue, and sentences are unparalleled. A must read for every teen and adult who has ever loved then loathed. It's not what you expect.

I loved the concept of this book. A breakup box where the main character relates a time/memory from a past relationship to each object. Even though I knew that the main couple were going to break up at the end of the story I desparately wished that they would stay together. 

The illustrations are cute but nothing about the plot or characters was that investment-worthy. It was mostly whiney and immature.

pretty accurate response of a teenage girl going thru heartbreak.

It definitely wasn't what I was expecting, but it wasn't bad. Then again, I didn't think it was all that great either.

At first I didn't like this AT ALL, but it grew on me and in the end, I do think it's a strong YA novel. Better than Chime and Everybody Sees the Ants? No. But I'll stop being bitter about the Printz Medal one of these days.

I just generally don't like the quirky girl in YA literature. Min was a little "too" everything and I don't think I would have wanted to be her friend, so her plight didn't quite appeal to me as much as it should have.

This hit too close to home.
Acabo de terminarlo y tengo aún un nudo en la garganta, supongo que tiene varios defectos pero creo que me identifique tanto con la historia y con la protagonista que casi no pude verlos. Además de que en algunas pequeñas partes había demasiado blah blah, por lo demás para mí fue 5/5.
