Why We Broke up, a novel by Daniel Handler, shows exactly why hindsight is 20/20. Min, short for Minerva, our funny, intelligent narrator, is a junior in highschool. During her relationship with Ed Slaterton , a star basketball player and popular senior at her school, Min, who many people call "arty" or "different," can't help but keep a collection of "treasures" from their relationship in a box. Now, after Ed and Min are through, she decides to finally go through her box. Writing to Ed about each item, choosing to give him these treasures and finally put their relationship behind her, Min shares with us their story and the real reason why, in the end, they broke up. A fresh, colorful novel filled with illustrations by Maira Kalman, Why We Broke Up is great for readers looking to change things up.
