Mind the Gap, Dash and Lily (Dash & Lily, #3)

by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan

'After reading this I wanted to read it all over again' – Zoe Sugg (aka Zoella) on The Twelve Days of Dash and Lily.

A glorious new collaboration from Rachel Cohn and David Levithan, the New York Times bestselling authors of Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist. Timed to coincide with the new DASH AND LILY series on Netflix comes a new helping of love – with best-selling authors Rachel Cohn and David Levithan bringing Dash and Lily to England!

Dash and Lily are feeling closer than ever … so it's too bad that they're also an ocean apart. After Dash gets accepted to Oxford University and Lily stays in New York, the couple are struggling to make a long distance relationship work. And when Dash breaks the news that he won't be coming home to New York for Christmas, Lily makes a decision: if Dash can't come to New York, she'll go to London. But will Lily pull off the ultimate surprise …?

A heart-warming wintry read that is guaranteed to be a favourite Christmas book for years to come.

Look out for David and Rachel’s other young adult novels: Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist and Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List.

Also by David Levithan, Every Day, Another Day, Marly's Ghost, Two Boys Kissing, How They Met and Other Stories.

David is the New York Times best-selling author of Boy Meets Boy and Marly’s Ghost. While among his many collaborations are Will Grayson, Will Grayson with Fault in Our Stars author John Green, and Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist with Rachel Cohn, which became a major film. David is also a highly respected children’s book editor, whose list includes many luminaries of children’s literature, including Garth Nix, Libba Bray and Suzanne Collins. He lives and works in New York.

Initial thoughts: Dash & Lily should’ve just remained a standalone instead of being turned into a series. Of all three books, only the first really got me into the holiday mood. This third one was a fair bit more enjoyable than the second one though, so that’s something at least. Still, I’m hard pressed to give it more than 2.5 stars because there still weren’t any plot twists that I found major enough to warrant a series, nor did it do much for bringing holiday cheer. For an audiobook in the car it was entertaining enough but I am glad I didn’t sit down and spend my time only reading and flipping pages when I could’ve been doing something else. If you miss Dah and Lily, just go and re-read Dash and Lily’s Book of Dares. Or watch the Netflix show. Either will do more to warm your heart for the season.

Book 1 was sweet and adorable. Book 2 was also sweet and adorable yet different. Book 3 doesn't disappoint in sweetness and adorableness while Dash & Lily try to figure out the meaning of life, family and most importantly Christmas.
