Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler

3.0

I thought about giving up about a hundred pages into the book. I'm glad I didn't. The book missed a story, a direction and speed in the first half, it got better after that. By the end, I didn't want to put it down, but only because the story got more tragic than the main character deserved (silly naive high school girl in love with the popular handsome guy from the basketball team). Mixed feelings about this story, but I liked the writing style.

However, as always, wonderful illustrations by Maira Kalman. (You seriously need to go read her book The Principles Of Uncertainty.)
