Dash and Lily's book of dares

Rating : 5 / 5

Goodreads : “I’ve left some clues for you. If you want them, turn the page. If you don’t, put the book back on the shelf, please.” So begins the latest whirlwind romance from the New York Times bestselling authors of Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist. Lily has left a red notebook full of challenges on a favorite bookstore shelf, waiting for just the right guy to come along and accept its dares. But is Dash that right guy? Or are Dash and Lily only destined to trade dares, dreams, and desires in the notebook they pass back and forth at locations across New York? Could their in-person selves possibly connect as well as their notebook versions? Or will they be a comic mismatch of disastrous proportions? Rachel Cohn and David Levithan have written a love story that will have readers perusing bookstore shelves, looking and longing for a love (and a red notebook) of their own.

My review : This is such a lovely and cute book !!!! I really enjoyed reading it because I loved the characters, the plot, the setting (New York :D), the holiday theme (I love Christmas).
It's the perfect book for Christmas season and holidays by the way !
The characters are very well developed and I could totally identify to Lily especially her social difficulties at school because I was exactly the same at her age.
The idea of this red notebook is so clever and interesting. I loved reading what they wrote in it. The concept of a dare book is very charming.

I'm not a huge fan of contemporary books but Dash and Lily's book of dares is probably my favorite contemporary novel now (with Where she went by Gale Forman).
When I finished reading this book I wanted more ! I discovered that Rachel Cohn and David Levithan wrote other books together such as Nick and Norah's infinite playlist (made into a movie) and Naomi and Ely's no kiss list. I really want to read these books now !
Their combined writing was so great. I did some research and found out that (well it's pretty obvious but good to know) Rachel wrote the Lily's POV and David wrote Dash's POV. Both of their writing captivated me.

I loved this book so much that I think i'm going to buy a physical copy in October when it'll be published in England (i'm almost sure that I'm going to reread this book during my Christmas holidays) !

I got this book on Netgalley. Thank you Harlequin UK ! This book came out two years ago in
the US but it is coming out in October in the UK !
