Part 2 Book Review of Dash and Lily's Book of Dares Rachel Cohn and David Levithan

I just finished the book Dash and Lily's Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan. The ending was just as good as the rest of the book. I could not put it down and it really caught my interest. This book  had a lot of humor and fun built in to it. Dash and Lily are destined to be together. They share many common interests such as reading, chemistry, and most importantly having fun. The book takes place in New York City where all the action occurs. They love to be part of that scene. For example there was a collision between two people who walk into each other and Dash and Lily want to immediately record what they saw in their notebook. They are best friends, boyfriend and girlfriend and love birds. The two tell each other everything that is going on in their life and figure out how to solve it. For example Lily was very emotional. Dash told her to drink more tea and to watch less TV. That was a funny thing that he told her to do, but he was truly trying to help her. The characters are fully devloped by the author and by the end of the book you feel like you know these two people very well. Since the beginning of the year I feel like I have really exposed myself to a lot of different genres. I used to just want to read books with a strong female protagonist. This book has a strong female character but it also has a strong male character and really explores relationships. I am excited to be able to recommend a book which is in my original type of genre but more in depth. I hope that all of you will decide to read this. I wonder if it will be made into a movie like the other book from the same authors called Infinite Playlist. I think this would be a great summer read. What a great book to end the last blog of the year!!! Have a great summer!!! <3
