Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler
3.0

Actually 2.5 and I'm still not sure if it's closer to 2 or 3, but let's go with the 3 for the illustrations, because I loved them!
As for the story itself it was kind of boring most of the times. The main character is annoying and naïve, and in the beginning I just couldn't understand her. Though I loved her interest in movies and other "arty" things, and surprisingly I loved the end of story let's say the last 40 pages. I didn't like Ed at all, but I liked Al very much so.
So in general this is a very light story for one evening, a very quick read to take your mind off things.
