Daniel Handler & Maira Kalman, Why We Broke Up

***WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING WEB ORDERS FOR THIS EVENT. PLEASE CALL 423-0900 BY 5:30 TO ORDER BY PHONE.***

Heartbreak. (Ouch.) Who among us has escaped the agony, the angst? Certainly not us at Bookshop Santa Cruz. But what better than to read about it and commiserate? Especially when we're talking about the fantastic Daniel Handler and his new book, Why We Broke Up, the story of two teenagers and their break-up. And, OMG, and it’s illustrated by Maira Kalman, too? (Be still our hearts.)

We’ve all been there: hearts shattered, songs on the radio bringing us to tears. The only thing that helps is talking about it with someone who gets it. And you know who gets it? Daniel Handler and Maira Kalman. And guess what? They’re coming to town. Yes, both the mega-selling author (hello, Lemony Snicket) and the phenomenal artist will be here to showcase heartbreak in all its glory.

Come hear them at Santa Cruz High School on Wednesday, February 1st at 7:00. Purchase your copy of their book, Why We Broke Up, at Bookshop Santa Cruz and receive a free ticket to the event. When buying the book/ticket, you may also purchase one additional ticket for $5.00. Purchase them in-store or online (below).

Why We Broke Up is Handler and Kalman’s novel of broken romance. Do you have your own story of heartbreak? Head on over to the Why We Broke Up Project (the blog they created: http://whywebrokeupproject.tumblr.com/) and share your experience. Email us a copy of your submission (bookshopevents@yahoo.com) and you’ll be entered into Bookshop’s raffle for a chance to win a free book and two tickets to the event!

PLEASE NOTE:

Tickets are needed to enter the High School venue. Doors open at 6:30, event will start promptly at 7:00pm. Parking is limited so please allow yourself time to make it to the event’s start time. Both Daniel Handler and Maira Kalman will sign ONE additional title of any of their previous books, provided there is also one copy of Why We Broke Up (purchased at Bookshop) being signed.
