Dash & Lily's Book Of Dares by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan


Publisher- Knoph Books for Young Readers
Publication Date- October 26, 2010
Pages- 274

Told from 2 perspectives:
Dash-During Christmas break, Dash is shopping at his favorite book store and comes across a notebook. Inside it, a list of instructions and where to leave the notebook when done. But before leaving it, he leaves a few instructions of his own.
Lily-Leaves a notebook in the midst of her favorite authors section at her favorite bookstore. The notebook contains a list of instructions. She ultimately forgets about it, but in a few days she discovers someone has accepted her dares, and left a few of their own.
Dash and Lily pass the notebook back and forth over the course of winter break in New York City, never knowing who’s on the other end of the red moleskin.

This is a great YA contemporary novel for the holidays. Great plot and lovely characters. Very well thought out. I also love the writing style. David Levithan writes as Dash and Rachel Cohn as Lily. This gives each character a distinct personality. Definitely recommend this book.
