There are plenty of examples of books that are written entirely in rhyme, and the fact of it being written in rhyme will not make it boring - UNLESS you hack the story and words around so badly in order to make it rhyme that you ruin it.

I would recommend reading this:

Love, dishonour, marry, die. Cherish, perish, a novel by (pause here for effect) David Rackoff

To see it done with epic mastery in a modern way.

However, constraining yourself to writing in rhyme is quite a serious bind, and unless you are a very experienced poet or novelist already, it may be better to attempt something a little more straightforward first, while you learn your craft.

Writing a book is hard enough as it is without adding artificial constraints.

I think it would be better to concentrate on what you want to write about - telling a good story, talking about something that matters to you - rather than having the format as your starting point.
