Why We Broke Up - Hardcover
The man behind Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events tackles growing up and breaking up in his first book for teens.
"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 matches, a protractor, books, a toy truck, a pair of ugly earrings, a comb from a motel room, and every other item 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. In Why We Broke Up, international best-selling author of A Series of Unfortunate Events – made into a Hollywood film starring Jim Carrey – writes about romance and breaking up in his first book for young adults with every bit as much skill as he does gothic humour.

Review:
"Readers are taken beneath the surface of what will no doubt be one of the most talked-about romances in teen literature...A poignant, exhilarating tale of a love affair gone to the dogs" - Kirkus Review
