The Lover's Dictionary: A Love Story in 185 Definitions 

The Lover's Dictionary: A Love Story in 185 Definitions

David Levithan

In 26 short chapters, one for each letter of the alphabet, David Levithan’s novel describes ‘a love affair between adults who should know better but haven't learned a damn thing’ (Nicola Barr in the Observer.)
This is ‘woo, v.’:
‘I told you it was ridiculous to pay thirty dollars for a dozen roses on Valentine’s Day. I forbade you to do it. So that day, when I went to pay for lunch, what did I find? In my wallet, thirty singles, each with roses printed on it. I imagined you feeding them through your color printer. Oh, the smile that must have played across your face. I had to ask the woman behind the counter to take a quick picture of my own smile, to send it right back to you.’
