This book was so refreshing and inspiring. My love for words has been raised.

It's cute, and I like the style, but there's hardly substance to it.

Beguiling is adorable.

This is, I think, the only book that I have ever read that once I finished reading the last page, I set it down, reflected on it for a moment, and then started sobbing. This book is something truly special.

In the past ten minutes of reading, I've both laughed my head off and cried my heart out, in the space of less than 50 pages..

Oh, god, this book is making me cry. And I can't tell if it's due to the sadness, or the beauty. Maybe both.

I am completely enraptured by this book. It's gorgeous, it's heart-breaking, it's laugh-out-loud funny, it's everything.

And I just started it this morning - so so so good.

I really love this book thus far. It's so lovely and how it's put together as a dictionary is just wonderful. The honesty of love and heartbreak between these two characters is so well written and just wow. I'm not finished though but I doubt I'll not love it.

Started this book tonight and I love it already! Took a few pages to get used to the book's style but it's certainly different from anything I've read before.

Have you ever read a book that cuts so deep that it seems like the author has a direct line to your heart?

I'm such a sap for saying it, but this book is kind of completely beautiful. The nonlinear approach has never worked so well, in my experience, as it does here. Just... gorgeous. Puts romance movies to shame.

Starting to get into it. As usual, his writing is gorgeous and I love these drabbles. But I don't feel yet that I know these characters, even 35% in to the book. I think that's the point and I think it's two men. I can see that each story within the book uncurls across several words, but I still feel like I'm reading this on some type of delay.

This is strangely hard to get into so far. Reading this gives me the same sense of continual anticipation/patience as being fed goldfish crackers one at a time by my 4-year old. I just keep waiting to find out what's going on.

Massive into Levithan, so this should be good

Love this book. Very poignant, short entries. You'll either love it or put it down by page 10. I started it tonight and I'm halfway through.

I'm reading this book to Laurie at night and am loving it! The short snippets of story, not in chronological order, spark memories of my own relationships, past and current.

This book is really good so far, I'm reading it so fast!

Love, loss, heartbreak, and all the stuff in between - David Levithan does not disappoint.

Such a cute way to tell a story! I'm really liking it :D

I wasn't sure if I'd like the style of this, but it's interesting.

"abyss, n. - There are times when I doubt everything. When I regret everything you've taken from me, everything I've given you, and the waste of all the time I've spent on us."

Loving this book!

This is beautifully written...

I'm 12 pages in and already in love with this book.

People often say that when couples are married for a long time, they start to look alike. I don't believe that. But I do believe their sentences start to look alike. :)

Sometimes I read but I don't update my status. This book feels like short bursts of text.
