Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler
4.0

I feel like I just got dumped. But like...in a good way. So, like, what the heck. I had mixed feelings at first about this book... I saw it at the store and immediately picked it up and bought it, but once I started I was a bit worried about the plot. Would it just be a bunch of random little stories to go along with the things in 'the box'?

Luckily, I was proved wrong. Min actually told a wonderful story, and I felt most of it was pretty realistic. I understood how she felt. The only thing I didn't really like was towards the end, when Ed does something...well....kind of out of the blue. And also I would have liked to hear a bit how he felt, maybe one chapter at the end or something on him...I dunno. On the other hand, the open endedness is kind of cool.

Overall, it was very good, with believable characters and an emotional, realistic story.
