A review by timothycapehart
Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler

3.0

I liked this book. I liked the realistic characters and situations.

I loved the details...in the day to day and the relationship and the friendships and the families of the characters. It brought to mind David Levithan and John Green. And I loved the illustrations; Maira Kalman is faboo!

However, I have to agree with several of the reviewers who say something along the lines of the conceit of the kiss-off letter wears out long before the end of the novel. Fifty to seventy pages would have been excised by a good editor. And there were far, far too many fake movies.
