When I first started this, I thought I wouldn’t like Dash at all, it just something about the way he spoke that I assumed early about his character. It didn’t take long for that to change. Not only does he classify himself as “bookish” and love to roam with old dusty books, but he couldn’t pass up the adventure of the notebook and clues, and it was just lots of fun to read as he figured things out. Not to mention that they called him a “snarling hipster” and he always came back with the funniest responses. And a certain scene involving Santa almost had me rolling on the floor at work!
Lily I instantly liked. She’s a nerdy girl and someone deemed uncool and she has no friends. But her joy for Christmas, always trying to do good for others, love of all animals and optimism won me over. She wasn’t annoying or anything either, but in her own way she was quirky and unique.
Even the family members and friends of these two brought something fun to the book, they were helpful in all matters including delivering the notebook between the two, offering advice and of course being there for them.
This book not only has some pretty hilarious moments, but also some sad ones as you read. But it wasn’t a depressing book, the way that they find each other and how all the clues are cleverly laid out will keep you reading until they finally do meet. It is of course not the perfect first meeting, but things do work out and it’s quite the adventure that these two get to go on. And the ending was super cute!
This is a perfect book for those wanting to read come contemporary romance with a twist around the holidays, whether you celebrate or not!
