Why we broke up, by Daniel Handler

From October 5 to November 12, Min and Ed fall in love.  Fall hard, fall in spite of everyone telling them that they don't have anything in common, fall passionately, madly in love.  And when it ends, it hurts both of them.  Min returns a box of memories - two bottle caps, a movie ticket, a love note, a toy truck - each a painful reminder of love and loss, explaining each one by one.

Tender, painful, funny, moving.  If you've ever been in love and had your heart broken, you will recognize the story.
