Dash & Lily's Book of DaresDash & Lily's Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Perhaps reading a Christmas book in the middle of May wasn’t such a good idea… but it was on offer in the Works, what can you do? This book was a speedy read and I thought these two writers wrote well together, but…

The characters in this book were pretty annoying. First we had Dash who was very pretentious and quite annoying. Although, I did find Lily more annoying, with her naivety and her childishness.

I also got pretty annoyed with an undertone of ‘book superiority’. I believe every book has some worth, and in this book, both characters tossed both romances and YA books aside and they both felt that these classics were better. Fair enough, although it was somewhat paradoxical as this book is a YA novel.
