This novel tells the story of Min Green and how she and Ed Slaterton met at a party, saw a movie, followed an old woman, shared a hotel room, and broke each other's hearts.

That's their breakup story What's Yours?

We Broke Up Because:

My boyfriend took a trip to Venice Beach, and when he got back, he’d cut his longish skater hair into a pompadour and pierced his septum.  He wasn’t as cute as he used to be.  Also, I’d been making out with our German exchange student while he was gone.

I thanked her for the pajamas she sent me for my
birthday without opening it to see it was a cabana bathing suit.   ”You’d wear
pajamas to the beach?” She hung up!

I had ugly shoes. But in my defense, I was in seventh grade and my mom was cheap.

Your mother is to blame not only for this but for all of your subsequent failures.  Why not call her now and tell her so?
