Cut to the Chase
The author introduces us to Alexander, who is the main character of this novel. He broke up with his girlfriend, Jenny, and she didn’t waste any time sending him a breakup letter. I appreciate how she preemptively addressed Alexander’s concerns that she would want to be with one of his pals after their relationship ended.
This note raises the intriguing question: Is it better to be blunt and honest or to be flattering and emotional when breaking up? Or is it more considerate to explain your feelings in-depth, as well as being flattering? Both people involved in a breakup are affected by it, so there may not be a great approach to go about it.
