A whirlwind romance from the New York Times bestselling authors of Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist! “I’ve left some clues for you. If you want them, turn the page. If you don’t, put the book back on the shelf, please.”
16-year-old Lily has left a red notebook full of challenges on her favorite bookstore shelf, waiting for just the right guy to come along and accept its dares. Dash, in a bad mood during the holidays, happens to be the first guy to pick up the notebook and rise to its challenges.
What follows is a whirlwind romance as Dash and Lily trade dares, dreams, and desires in the notebook they pass back and forth at locations all across New York City. But can their in-person selves possibly connect as well as their notebook versions, or will their scavenger hunt end in a comic mismatch of disastrous proportions?
Co-written by Rachel Cohn (GINGERBREAD) and David Levithan, co-author of WILL GRAYSON, WILL GRAYSON with John Green (THE FAULT IN OUR STARS), DASH & LILY'S BOOK OF DARES is a love story that will have readers scouring bookstore shelves, looking and longing for a love (and a red notebook) of their own.
I loved this book. It has bee a while since I laughed this much when reading a book. Seriously, my husband kept looking sideways at me in bed because I kept either laughing or smiling to my self. This is the first book by either of these authors that I have read and I really liked the plot, and the distinctive voices of the characters.
Dash seemed a lot more mature than Lily, but then again, he had a very different upbringing and the background of a very nasty divorce. Lily was, it seems, the 'baby' of a very big and united extended family. I wish the ending was a little further along in their relationship to see where it lead. I hope the Lily stayed in NY and that they were together forever (well, for a while a least!)
