what i liked
what i liked
- It's a funny read! I found myself laughing out loud at the different stories. Some of the breakups are just so weird and humorous that I can't help myself. My favorite was one story about a couple that broke up and then this guy threw a game boy at the girl and ran off. Like what?? And I'm pretty sure they weren't that young!
- There are hilarious drawings that go along with every story. They really add to each breakup story and are funny to look at.
- There's even an email at the end of the book where you can submit your own breakup stories. It gives me hope that there will be a volume 2 of the book.

I was giggling when I read the title. I could only imagine what sort of stories people contributed. Sounds really fun.
ReplyDeleteI got a chance to reviewed this book a while back too and I agree, it's funny and amazing! I wish it was longer, but I have hopes for book 2 too :D
