Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler

2.0

Disappointing. I'm a big Maira Kalman fan, and had never read Handler's work before. Unfortunately, this book was 75% Handler, and, I'm guessing, probably not the best place to start with his writing. Kalman's illustrations were glorious, but they were just that, illustrations for Handler's story, and the story was limp and predictable. There were some beautiful lyrical passages, but I kept wondering - who is this book for?
