spunglass 's review for:

Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler
2.0

What I expected from this book, was... well not what I got.
I wasn't expecting it to be a 'letter' that isn't really a letter... since I honestly can't think of anyone who would write someone a letter that exceeds 2 pages -- unless you're my mom.

The idea of it was relatable: as I was reading I kept thinking back on all the little things I had collected over the years that are tokens for 'major events' during relationships. I still have playbills from the theatre, post-it's with little scraps of poetry, pressed flowers... etc.

But, the little stories it included about the items she collected - weren't believable, and utterly frustrating at times to read through.

Yes, Min... you are 'different' because I can't think of anyone who would willingly want to go along with half of the ideas you dream up.

(The art was fabulous though!)
