Today, I am going to be doing my first book review! It is going to be on Dash and Lily's Book of Dares. This book was co written by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan.
I am going to start off with a brief summary. For those of you that are interested in reading this, there will be no spoilers here!
This book takes place in New York City during the Christmas season. The chapters are split between Dash's life and Lily's life. Lily's parents are away for the Christmas, and her brother is completely devoted to his boyfriend. She feels sort of alone, so her brothers convince her to hide a notebook in her favorite bookstore. Inside the notebook are clues for whoever finds it to follow. The last clue leads the person to give it back to a specific worker at the store, so it can be passed off again to Lily. Dash and Lily, two completely unlike characters, meet because of this notebook.
Here's my review of this book.
I thought this book was great. I loved all of the kooky characters. My favorite scene was the one that occurred in the dictionary closet. I think it is very interesting how they wrote this. Rachel wrote Lily's chapters, and David wrote Dash's. The setting was perfect. I have not read that many books set in New York City.
Overall, I would give this book 4 1/2 out of 5 stars.
