The Lover's Dictionary reimagines a relationship as a collection of short, dictionary-style entries. The nameless narrator assembles moments—first flirtations, intimate confidences, everyday tiffs and routines—into a concise, emotionally sharp portrait of modern love.
Brief entries deliver pointed observations and surprising tenderness, showing how small details add up to the shape of a life together. The format explores how language captures both the ordinary and the profound in a partnership.
Accessible and reflective, the book suits readers of contemporary and literary romance who enjoy inventive structure and intimate voice. Published by Picador in 2012, 224 pages.

This seller was incredible. I purchased an inexpensive (used) book and was almost immediately notified that it shipped on the same day I ordered it. I received it within 2 days. It was exactly as described - it looked like it had never even been read! Great service & a great product. Thanks!
The book was in excellent condition and it arrived in approximately 5 days, much sooner than I had expected. I would definitely recommend this vendor.
