When I requested this book on NetGalley, I did understand it was an adult book, but of course my love for A Series of Unfortunate Events guided my decision. After all, years ago I stood in line for hours to get Lemony Snicket’s autograph, err, I mean, I did it with my friend, so her young son could ...
I'm telling you why we broke up, Ed. I'm writing it in this letter, the whole truth of why it happened. Min Green and Ed Slaterton are breaking up, so Min is writing 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 matche...
Actual rating 3.5 starsWhen trying to think of something to compare We Are Pirates to, the closest thing that comes to mind - in terms of dark humour, characters, and world building - is American Beauty.The book itself isn't quite what the blurb suggested, with the actual piratey adventure beginning...
Although I consider young adult fiction to be a guilty pleasure of mine, sometimes I don’t feel quite so guilty about it. Despite the fact that Daniel Handler’s YA novel Why We Broke Up feels even more juvenile than most picks from the young adult genre because it is a picture book (artist Maira Kal...
I'd been wanting to read this book for a long time, but I was somewhat disappointed when I finally got to it. The format is intriguing--a set of letters connected to "objects" (matchbox, movie poster, etc.) that a girl returns to her ex-boyfriend at the end of the relationship. First I had to suspen...

Ed is one of the school jocks, and Min is an unpopular girl obsessed with classic films. Min pours her heart out as she wr...
This book tells a story about teenage love and eventual heartbreak. It is so wonderfully written that it has the power to take you back in time to that one love who might have broken your heart one way or the other. Daniel Handler makes the emotion of falling in love blindly so easy to relate to, be...
The title says clearly what the book is all about. The reasons why Min broke up with Ed was written (as a letter) together with the items (which are also related to both of them of course) inside the box. Min drop it in front of Ed’s house.This book (paperback) was on my wishlist last Christmas but ...
For my second book log of Why We Broke up I will tell you what has happened. Not much has happened that I haven't already said. Min the girl in the story is still writing her letter to Ed about why they broke up. She is still going through every object and memory that the two of them shared. If you ...
