Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler

4.0

---

Let me begin this review by being very clear that I never read books like this. my love of Lemony Snicket is one of the only reasons I even bothered. This book made me feel a little old, and at first I was a little disinterested in the way too fast intensity of Min & Ed, but then I remembered what first loves & relationships felt like. In a word, intense. Once I figured this out, it was easier to understand this book. I love that this is a letter to Ed, and that in a way it becomes closure for Min, plus the whole concept of the box, and the little things that add up, even in a short amount of time. I also have to say, I love Min, she was just so real, and that my friends is why she needed to break up with Ed, and why you should read this book.
