Book Thoughts: Dash and Lily's Book of Dares

Title: Dash and Lily's Book of Dares
Author: Rachel Cohn & David Levithan

This is one of my favorite holiday novels. Dash and Lily both live in NYC at Christmastime... but other than that, their lives are entirely different. What brings them together is a small local bookshop and a red notebook.

As they pass the notebook back and forth, leaving each other dares and challenges and slowly learning more about each other -- and about themselves, as they go through ridiculous shenanigans they would otherwise never go near -- they develop a friendship that is beautiful to watch and affects these two completely opposite characters so incredibly.

The question is, will their friendship last when they meet in person?

Told in alternating POVs, this novel is adorable and sweet and clever and funny and everything that is good about the holiday season (whether you celebrate Christmas or not). Definitely read this one if you get a chance. You won't regret it.
