“Why We Broke Up” is a unique book that start with the middle, tells you the beginning and then gives you the end. It is one of the few teen books with illustrations. The pictures, done by Maria Kalman, add a quirkiness to this book.
Min Green is writing Ed a letter. The same Min Green that loves movies with a passion and is bumming a ride off her best friend Al as we speak. This very detailed letter tells exactly why Min and Ed broke up. It all started with two Scarpia’s Ale bottle caps. Now, everything that was ever important to the two of them is in a box with this letter.
This book shows how through the course of a relationship, so many things can go wrong, just as many things can go right, and in the end, you might just learn something. I won’t spoil the story for you… but I will tell you that the ending is a happy one!
