I learn the difference between a eulogy and an elegy, and discover which is more vital, in life and in death.

How genius to call them thumbnails, because what part of the body tells us less? (And yet, this is how I find you.)

flux, n. The natural state. Our moods change. Our lives change. Our feelings for each other change. Our bearings change. The song changes. The air changes. The temperature of the shower changes. Accept this. We must accept this.

"I have never lived anywhere but New York or New England, but there are times when I'm talking to you and I hit a Southern vowel, or a word gets caught in a Southern truncation, and I know it's because I'm swimming in your cadences, that you permeate my very language."

So fascinated with this book.

Finally got this book!! I've been following the progress on Twitter and I'm so excited to have it in my hands.

Why am I only reading this now?! I need more Levithan!

meh..

Can't read continuously because of acad stuffs. Huhu =(

SO. DAMN. GOOD

LOVING this!

The way it's written it interesting, gonna have to get used to it...

Time for a reread of this beautiful book

I really love every word of this. I can already tell I will purchase a copy and reread it often.

corrode, v. - I spent all this time building a relationship. Then one night I left the window open, and it started to rust.

Side note: I was going to write down my favorite lines from this one, but there appears to be one on every page. Which is wonderful, but maybe I'll just buy the book, depending in how the rest goes, eh?

I am sort of in love with this. As someone who vastly appreciates the Art of the Drabble, this is fantastic, and I love the way he is unveiling both the happies and the sads in this relationship. Lovely.

"I would like, more than anything else, for my nation to be shaken like a Polaroid picture."

I want you to be happy. Happy on such a base level that you don't seem to understand that it's possible to have anything other than a base level of happiness.

Cute

I'm not sure how I feel about this

Unique glimpse into this couple's relationship.

Love this book

By the the most creative thing I've read. Ever.

Ack! I absolutely LOVE this book! The format is really different and interesting; it's a dictionary, but instead of a definition for each word, it's a little bit about this couples' relationship.

So cute but soooo cheesy.

Loving how it is laid out, just like a dictionary...but I wish it was in chronological order & it doesn't seem to be so far.

Good thing I got this on ebook... I'm quick on reading it.

So far, so sweet.

Trying to write about love is ultimately like trying to have a dictionary represent life. No matter how many words there are, there will never be enough. <3
