Why We Broke Up written by Daniel Handler with art by Maira Kalman

Min Green and Ed Slaterton have broken up, so Min is writing Ed a letter and giving him a box. Inside the box is why they broke up. A movie ticket from their first date, a comb from the motel room they shared and every other memento collected over the course of a giddy, intimate, heartbreaking relationship.

Why We Broke Up is honest and sincere as it introduces you to Min and Ed and lets you live through their exhilarating and heartbreaking romance. Min is smart, sharp and devastatingly honest, voicing things we only wish we had the ability to voice.
