Trying to Love

I was given an advanced reader's copy of David Levithan's adult book "The Lover's Dictionary." As with all of his books, I like the premise, I'm intrigued by the plot and characters...but then I'm disappointed by the product. There are a few brilliant turns of phrase in this one but neither partner is very sympathetic and the non-linear storytelling doesn't give me enough information to be invested in the outcome.
