Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler
2.0

Every chapter ended with a reason -- "and that's why we broke up." But none of the chapters ended with the real reason, which is that she was dating a cheating asshole. Even though the whole book is an expression of her frustration at her complete naivete - the fact that she was too blind to see what was happening while it was happening - she's still naive at the end. Which I guess says something too. But I'm not sure that was on purpose.
Illustrations 10/10.
