purstiltski 's review for:
Why We Broke Up
by Daniel Handler
DID NOT FINISH
When I clicked "I'm finished", I meant I was finished with this book. I did not actually finish reading it.
It seems like an interesting story. The breakup that everyone can relate to, told through items attached to memories in a box. It does have its interesting moments. But most of the moments I've had in trying to read this book have been, "GOOD GOD, PLEASE HELP THIS WRITING. MAKE IT BETTER. IT HURTS."
Let's just say that IT'S BAD. It's a list of junk you don't want to read. It makes me want to punch a publisher.
I've seen some reviews by people who've pushed through the excrement and liked it. Supposedly it makes you "feel ALL the feels!", but all my feels are crappy right now, and it's all thanks to this book. So I'm taking it back to the library, after I finish looking at the GOOD ART BY MAIRA KALMAN (the only good thing about it). I'll try not to let the attractive cover and weight fool me into picking it up again.
