Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler
5.0
Yes. This book is annoying.
From the run-on sentences, to Min’s train wreck thinking, to her and Ed’s oh-so typical love story. Arty girl meets jock, falls in love, loses her virginity, and gets her heart broken in the span of less than two months.
This book is annoying.
It’s also so damn real. That’s why we read it. And read it again and again. Everyone remembers their first heartbreak. That relationship so blushy and innocent you think it’ll last forever and you’ll live happily ever after. The ending of this book is like how that first relationship ended. In your face and out of nowhere. Even when everyone else could see it.
This book is real and poignant and necessary because sometimes falling in love requires run-on sentences and really out there metaphors and “I’m sorry’s” that take up 2 pages. And falling out of love is even harder.
