sbelasco40 's review for:
Why We Broke Up
by Daniel Handler
This book grew on me. At first I thought it was kind of too clever, if that makes sense, but it ended up being quite powerful. Handler's characters all kind of sound the same, and they are way too sophisticated to be even smart teenagers, but their self-involved and single-minded passion rings true. He could stand to use a few more periods in place of commas, as the run-ons get exhausting, but then again, isn't that what it's like to be a teenager in love? Everything is a run-on. Also: the author reviews on the back are the best part. Writes Brian Selznick, author of THE INVENTION OF HUGO CABRET, "I knew I had to break up with Ann Rosenberg after she chose a teal dress for the prom. I had never heard of teal. Also, I was gay."
