Why We Broke Up
by Daniel Handler
Bittersweet and funny, this tells the history of Ed and Min's ill-fated romance through objects that Min collected and her accompanying novel-length note. Min is a fully recognizable character (though maybe rather too articulate for 16 or maybe that's just me, remembering my 16yo self), though Ed never really comes alive. Initially I found Min's awkward running on and somewhat jumbled syntax to be rather irritating, but I got used to it (but quite often found myself thinking I'd read a paragraph and not really got the point of it). Billed as a YA novel, it feels more sophisticated than many and is certainly borderline adult.
