Review: Dash and Lily's Book of Dares
Okay I'm going to make this short and simple.
Book: Dash and Lily's Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan
If you enjoyed Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, then you will definitely enjoy this one!
Lily's parents and grandfather are away for Christmas and her brother is too involved in his boyfriend to spend time with her. To spice up her holiday (and life) he creates a Book of Dares in a red moleskin which they hide in the Strand for the perfect finder.
Told through alternating chapters (Cohn as Lily, Levithan as Dash), the adventure is full of twists and turns but did have a few predictable moments. I loved the references to pop culture and politcal/corporate stabs throughout the book. Although a work of fiction, Cohn and Levithan did a fantastic job of bringing the characters to life.
Teen girls would really enjoy this novel.
I will note that there is some crude language (mostly from Dash).
