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.

"This Was A Fun Creative Read Than My Normal I Enjoyed How The Author Wrote This Book And Consumed It Almost In One Sitting Being Young Teenage Girl Myself I Found It Highly Relatable And Definitely Recommend Me For The Young Adult Crowd Definitely Makes You Think Of Those Young Guillble Times"

"As a soon to be author with somewhat a skill of writing… and a teenager myself, who had been in a talking phase of a relationship with a few people..
I rate this book pretty low because I dislike the way it’s written. I believe that it could have been written better if it was worded differently and the way the story goes.
It is not necessarily a bad book but it could be better, the way that Min sounded like she broke up with him for no reason…"

"It was such a great book! GAVE ALL TOO WELL (10 MINUTE VERSION) by Taylor Swift. The detail in all the things Min was remembering and reminding Ed about it was perfection. Throughout the book I didn’t understand why they broke up and I was actually feeling sorry for Ed for what she was writing but towards the end it was clear as day. Very high school first love and break up vibes. The beginning started a little bland and the ending seemed too sudden and a little confusing but still a terrific book. Definitely one I would read again!"
