Goodreads Description:
In this ode to all the
things we gain and lose and gain again, seventeen-year-old Penelope Marx
curates her own mini-museum to deal with all the heartbreaks of love,
friendship, and growing up.
Welcome to the Museum of Heartbreak.
Well, actually, to Penelope Marx’s personal museum. The one she creates after coming face to face with the devastating, lonely-making butt-kicking phenomenon known as heartbreak.
Heartbreak comes in all forms: There’s Keats, the charmingly handsome new guy who couldn’t be more perfect for her. There’s possibly the worst person in the world, Cherisse, whose mission in life is to make Penelope miserable. There’s Penelope’s increasingly distant best friend Audrey. And then there’s Penelope’s other best friend, the equal-parts-infuriating-and-yet-somehow-amazing Eph, who has been all kinds of confusing lately.
But sometimes the biggest heartbreak of all is learning to let go of that wondrous time before you ever knew things could be broken.

Review:
I was so freaking excited for this book, the description of it reminded me of a book I read a while back, Ten Girls to Watch by Charity Shumway.
Not BECAUSE of the description but rather the whole facing your past, heartbreak and instead of looking at the past sadly, leaning to finally let go and learning to live.
This book isn't technically divided into chapters, but rather pieces of the "museum" like books, drawings, flyers and what happened around that piece which is perfect
Thats how it works, you look at something, like a movie stub or a book and a memory comes back around that
(I cant look at my copy of Romeo and Juliet without remembering my ex because of... well long story and not the point)
The book started a bit slowly for me except for the dinosaurs ! There is a mention of dinosaurs and how we are alike in a way and well
I
FREAKING
LOVE
DINOSAURS
LOVE
DINOSAURS
ANYWAYSSSSSSS
This book took me back in time, it gave me a certain sadness you know, but at the same time, happiness, it just kinda lifts you up a bit. it was deja vu all over this book for me
It's beautiful
For any heartbroken soul out there, this is for you
It's gonna be all right
and as a young man once said
"ADVENTURE IS OUT THERE"
If you have never been heartbroke
FREAKING RUN FOR YOUR LIFE AND DONT LET CUPID GET YOU
BEAT UP THE SUCKER! CUPID DOESN"T KNOW WHAT THE FREAK ITS DOING
