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.
My Opinion:
Fabulous book. The whole thing was a delightful cliffhanger. I'm glad with the ending. I hope the girl finds happiness. What I truly liked was all the pictures and the references to old movies and film stars. I definitely have to look them up. Not a must-read, but a good story; a nice way to pass the time.
