Book Review: Dash & Lily's Book of Dares


Title: Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares
Author: Rachel Cohn and David Levithan
Genre: YA, Realistic Fiction, Novel
Summary: Lily is bored with her life and wants to meet a boy, so with the help of her brother she starts plants a notebook in a bookstore.  Dash stumbles upon this notebook and is intrigued; he decides to up the ante by creating dares of his own for Lily to complete.  Soon the two are communicating in the notebook while using the dares to live life outside of the notebook at the same time. 
Evaluation:
This was a simple, fun read.  I liked that the concept of a book, of using a notebook to get to know someone.  The authors did a nice job of expanding that plot and allowing the notebook to help the characters to learn more about themselves while finding a life outside of the book.  There was some swearing in the book, but not too much.  Fans of romance, realistic fiction, or someone looking for a holiday read would enjoy this book.
