This seller has earned a 1.00 of 5 Stars rating from Biblio customers.

I hated this book. The 16 year old girl talked like a 40 year old college professor. There were countless references to movie stars and movies that don't exist. The central relationship. did not even last two months!

From the publisher

I'm telling you why we broke up, Ed. I'm writing it in this letter, the whole truth of why it happened.

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. Item after item is illustrated and accounted for, and then the box, like a girlfriend, will be dumped.
