(1) YA Illustrated by Maira Kalman. Min is a quirky aspiring filmmaker; Ed’s a popular jock. Their breakup centers this unique novel, posed as a letter Min is writing to Ed. She’s also planning to leave a box of items--tiny tokens of their relationship--on his doorstep. Min's narration is poetic, eloquent, and honest. Kalman’s spare illustrations perfectly complement Handler's accomplished prose, and thick glossy pages make the book satisfyingly hefty.
