"I'm telling you why we broke up, Ed. I'm writing it in this letter, the whole truth of why it happened." From the author of The Basic Eight comes a novel the Telegraph hailed as 'A poignant tale of adolescent heartbreak'. 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. A wonderful read for anyone who was captivated by David Levithan's The Lovers Dictionary or Jenny Han's P.S. I Still Love You. A classic of young adult fiction that will resonate with anyone who has ever had their heart broken.
