Why We Broke Up
by Daniel Handler
DNF after 150 pages. The concept was cool, and also the reason I'm giving this two stars. I would give it more, but honestly it felt very repetitive. Such an amazing format and an amazing idea, but it just didn't land the way I wanted it to. Maybe it's because I just don't relate to the characters, but I noticed a lot of interactions between the two felt very dated. Not a bad thing, it was probably good for its time, but dating is really different now so I just couldn't understand the dynamic. He seems like he was a pretty bad person from the day the main character met him, so I don't understand why the main character is dating him. When he's disrespectful, why didn't she call him out? Idk if it's a generational thing or poorly written chemistry tbh. I didn't feel much while reading this.
