“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 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.

Cute cute cute. Much better than Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List, and probably about the same level as Nick and Norah. I liked Lily a lot. Dash not quite as much, but he was mildly annoying in a very realistic teenage-boy way.
This book is genuinely sweet and fun. The characters are very snobby and pretentious and they definitely act like children who pretend to be all grown-up because they now are past the age of 16 and basically mini-adults in their own vision. But that doesn't take away from a plot I really liked with some great funny moments that had me laughing out loud. It's a sweet christmas story and I cannot wait to read the other two books in the series come december this year.
This book shares quite a bit with Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (including its authors), but I found it much more enjoyable.
Dash, as a character, got on my nerves at times. I wasn't a huge fan, but Lily was warm and funny and very likable. The entire cast was pretty likable, and they added a lot of flavor and character to an already charming novel.
It's a light read, perfect for the holidays, and it made me laugh and smile throughout. And that's really all it tries to do.
