I read this because I love Levithan's voice in Will Grayson, will grayson. This was simple and novel I wish I had thought of it, and the words so poignant and forward while conveying love and its complicating factors. Adored this book.

This novel follows the love story of two individuals who meet on a dating website. Only, this isn't your typical love story! Levithan's "The Lover's Dictionary" is written in 185 definitions! I can be skeptical when writers attempt to do something "clever" such as this, but in this case, it actually...

Unique, adj.Particularly remarkable, special, or unusual. That's the only word I can come up with after reading the book.
