Book Review: Why We Broke Up

                                                    Why We Broke Up Review
Why We Broke Up is a story that is told through a break up letter that a high school student named Min writes to her ex boyfriend, Ed, in which she explains in great detail why the two of them broke up. Min goes over the events in their relationship that both lead to her falling in love with him and the small things that stacked up over time that made it clear to her in hindsight that they were never going to last in the long run because they're just too different and they couldn't bridge the gap to make those differences matter less. It seems to me the reason why Min and Ed weren't meant to be was because they had pretty much nothing in common with each other and no matter how much they tried they were never going to be able to enjoy the things that the other loves with their whole heart even though they both did put some effort into doing so, Min more so than Ed. The other underlying problem in their relationship was that there were things that Ed would do that Min really hated that she should have called him out for doing when they happened but since she was too gone for him at this point she didn't even though the things he did in those moments really did upset her and caused a bit of a rift between the two. In the end there was a much more obvious reason as to why they broke up in the end but that even did lead to Min realizing a lot of smaller things that really bothered her in the past that happened before that point which is really what this book is about.

Overall I thought this was a pretty good book is written in a different style and it a lot of nice artwork in it which makes this book stand out from other ones. I liked the idea that this story was based off of and I felt like the characters felt really even though I didn't really enjoy them all that much in the end. Please tell me your thoughts on this book in the comment section below.
