The Lover's Dictionary by David Levithan
2.0

Age: Junior HS to College

I have loved every Levithan book until this little number crossed my way. While I did love that every chapter/section/piece's title went from A-Z, which would be a neat way to expand a teen's vocabulary, I did not enjoy the unlovable characters and the plot that seemed to spin in circles while revealing too much too soon and, at the same time, too little too late. It was confusing, uninteresting, and I kept wishing that it were going to get better. The ending was even a complete drag because it didn't resolve anything. Perhaps it was a symbolic representation of the relationship but it was too much emotion without the characters to connect it to.
