I have mixed feelings about this book, yet it deserves the 5 stars if only for the bold move of writing it that way. 
 This books is basically a series of one page incidents/one liners describing a relationship, headed by a word from the dictionary. For example: 
 Corrode v. 
 I spent all this time building a relationship. Then one night I left the window open and it started to rust. 
 Or 
 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. 
 Equipped with my super awesome dictionary bookmark, which helped me decipher Levithan's infinite supply of intimidating words, I sat down yesterday and took this little journey through the alphabets of love. 
 It's amazing how through this strange way of writing, you can actually tell the story. The author doesn't pay any mind to space or time, the quotes are random, depending on the alphabet rather then chronology, but surprisingly it's consistent. And that's why it gets 5 stars from me. 
 Now, coming to the "Love" Plot. Hmmm. I've seen other comments on this book stating that one should only read this book if they're in love or in love with love. I agree. If you're feeling bitter or cynical, don't come within 10 feet of this book. It got mixed reactions from me. Whilst I'm not exactly "in" love at the moment, I'm neither bitter nor morbid towards love. Hence, I found my response to the chapters varying between "Awwwwws" and "Barfs". 
 Delightful nonetheless. 
 So, What is Love, you ask? 
 A big mess of words.
