Text is a letter the girl is writing to the boy to let him know why they broke up. Awesome illustrations by Maira Kalman give this book an extra star. At first the idea is interesting, going through a box of mementos and explaining the story behind each and how those events impacted the relationship. It gets old quick, at least for this non teen girl. Disappointed that plot twist I was expecting never happened and we never found out much about Ed's home set-up. It was like it was just there to make him seem vulnerable and sympathetic at a point where the reader might otherwise have lost interest, because, unless I missed it, Ed's family situation was never really explained or developed. Having finished it, the whole thing seems kind of pointless even though it was cleverly done. I have to say, I was thrown off by this at first. I felt the writing was choppy, but once I got used to it there was nothing I didn't like about it. I began to love the writing, gritty honest and full of emotion. I love the story. I love the art. This book is honestly just a wonderful thing that I thoroughly enjoyed reading. I felt close to tears for 99% of this book, feeling the emotion from the characters, and the title was being dragged in front of me and I was running on a treadmill like a horse running after a carrot because within 10 pages I was starting to ask myself "yeah, why did they break up?". This is a book I'll always be glad that I read, and I recommend it to anyone looking for something light, funny, but also deep.
Filled with long, lovely riffs of language (some paragraphs of Min’s moody reflections go on for over a page), exquisite scenes of teenage life and the sad souvenirs of one high school relationship, “Why We Broke Up” is a silken, bittersweet tale of adolescent heartache. PrémiosNotable Lists
