Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler

4.0

When we fall in love, we so quickly believe we know that person, their truest self, and feel betrayed and lost when who they were to us disappears. We're left wondering if what we felt was ever real for anyone but ourselves, leaving us to relive the relationship, going over every sweet moment and every sign that it would inevitably end.

Watching a relationship from the outside, it's easy to say it's only been a month, it was hardly a relationship at all. Yet a whole book can be written about the love shared between two people, even if it's short-lived. Every moment spent together is an eternity in comparison to the mundane moments of everyday life.
