Review


I'm telling you why we broke up, Ed. I'm writing it in this letter, the whole truth of why it happened.

I am reading a book with the tittle "Why We Broke Up" and written by Daniel Handler.
So there is a girl named Min Green and her (ex)boyfriend named Ed Slaterton. They broke up after a while they've been together. That way, in this story Min is writting Ed a letter and giving him a box. Inside the box is why they broke up. Two bottle caps, a movie ticket, a folded note, a box of matches, a protractor, books, a toy truck, a pair of ugly earrings, a comb from a motel room, and every other item taht were collected over the course of a giddy, intimate, heartbreaking relationship. Item after item is illustrated and accounted for, and then the box, like a girlfriend, will be dumped.
Each items told a story how they went and what they do on that day.

I think the book is like a diary that a girl would love to write in it all day when she is heartbroken.
This book is fantastic, it is written neatly and in general the story is about honesty, a girl get left behind by her boyfriend.

    1. Hey, sorry for the late reply Ibu Lis :) I've finished the whole book and the story were great! It's so dramatic but on the other hand its romantic. I am not like Min, I think we have different personalities, she trusted someone so easily not like me, do you trust someone that easy? when you just met them for a while?
