Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler
4.0
The first thing I thought when I picked this book up was, "Why is this thing so blasted heavy?"
It's deceptively heavy because the pages are all glossy... like a children's book. It's illustrated, too. So, mega nostalgia waves were hitting me as I read it. I read it on Easter Sunday, by all accounts a Sunday I can spend a lot of time not doing much else but reading, so the 300+ pages weren't that daunting. Plus, the content and tone were entertaining. Teenagers fall in love all the times. This story was very honest about it. And the narrator, though she thinks of herself as nothing special sure has style when it comes to telling a story.
The story is of a box of things, each representing a stage in a relationship, that ultimately lead to "Why We Broke Up".
