About The BookHow does one talk about love? Do we even have the right words to describe something that can be both utterly mundane and completely transcendent, pulling us out of our everyday lives and making us feel a part of something greater than ourselves? Taking a unique approach to this problem, the nameless narrator of David Levithan’s The Lover's Dictionary has constructed the story of his relationship as a dictionary. Through these short entries, he provides an intimate window into the great events and quotidian trifles of being within a couple, giving us an indelible and deeply moving portrait of love in our time.
The Lover's
Dictionary is a hard one to review. So I'm going to keep it short. I first
bought this book back in 2012 and I didn't like it. I couldn't get into the story. I just
didn't feel it. Now 5 years on I wanted
to give it another go and I'm glad I did. It's so unique and captivating.
It's a love story
told in the form of a dictionary. Each definition relates to certain aspects of
the narrators life. From online dating, to moving in with his girlfriend, to
dealing with heartache. The author manages to convey a powerful love story in
such a way that blew my mind.
You find yourself
getting really invested in the characters life. His name is never revealed
which I think makes it more relate-able, as you can put yourself in to his place.
Really seeing everything through his eyes as if they are your own. The narrative is so addictive that you will
completely devour this book and not even realise it.
