Book #18: The Lover's Dictionary

Upon first inspection, I really did think this was a dictionary of lovers' terminology and almost didn't give it the chance it deserved. Then I discovered the author, who has written several other books that I absolutely adored and decided to give it a shot. Surprise! It is, in fact, not a dictionary, but a story told through alphabetical entries. The concept is unique and it amazed me that a full tale could be told with such few words. David Levithan does not disappoint in this novel and has created a heart wrenching story of a couple in love.
And it's just lovely.
