Why We Broke Up
by Daniel Handler
Ugh, this is basically like having to listen to your friend whine about her crappy ex for hours and days. At first you're sympathetic and maybe a little intrigued by all the dirty details. But by the end YOU DO NOT GIVE A CRAP OH MY GOD MOVE ON ALREADY YOU TWO WERE NEVER GOOD TOGETHER. Just hand the girl [b:It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken: The Smart Girl's Break-Up Buddy|33353|It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken The Smart Girl's Break-Up Buddy|Greg Behrendt|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1320531613s/33353.jpg|577082] and move on.
It is clear from the beginning that the reason they broke up was because Min only dated Ed for the shallow reason that he was hot and popular. BIG SHOCKER YOU CRAZY KIDS DID NOT MAKE IT. Yes, Min and Ed had some good moments together. They were young and cute and wanted to like each other! Of course there were some fun times in the honeymoon stage!
Min was smug and preachy. She had no respect for Ed – she treated him like the dimwitted jock he more or less was. Ed liked Min for the grand old reason that "she was different." Ed was a dumb puppy unable to articulate to himself or others what he actually wanted so just kind of went with how he felt at the moment. He was thoughtless towards other human beings because he had never bothered to actually think things through (and because he was attractive enough he could glide through life without experiencing real consequences).
Ed was kinda a crappy boyfriend, but does he deserve a giant This Is Why You Suck letter? No. Also, if this was an actual letter, it would be like 100 pages long (you know, taking out the pictures and making the font smaller). If I was Ed I would write a letter back to Min describing how she was condescending and annoying for the entire relationship and dragged him to boring old films and then mocked him for the things he liked.
Min was annoying and judgy. Ed was careless and selfish. Neither of them went into the relationship for the right reasons - it was all about physical attraction and an image of who they thought the other person was. So very high school (and sadly true even after high school). And that's why they broke up!
