A review by emilymahar
Dash & Lily's Book of Dares by David Levithan, Rachel Cohn

4.0

I did borrow this from my library's eBook collection. This was my first experience using that program. I really loved this book. I don't know why I decided to pick up a book that takes place during Christmas time in summer, but I still enjoyed it none the less.

First I'll start out with Lily. I can picture her as someone kind of like me. A bookish person, a bit nerdy yet still plays sports. I really liked her character. She was witty and smart. Out of the two, I found her narrations more interesting.

Next, Dash. I loved him. If I was Lily, I would've wanted to meet him as soon as he responded in the red notebook. I liked it when in the end they do meet each other, and both of them narrate while with each other.

Now onto the concept of the notebook. I loved how through the majority of the book the two of them communicated through a little red moleskin notebook. The idea was really clever, and made the story so cute.

Overall, if you're looking for a great contemporary novel, this is a perfect choice!
