PopSugar Reading Challenge Book 35 or I Dare You

For a book that takes place during Christmas, I read Dash and Lily's Book of Dares by David Levithan and Rachel Cohn. I have loved everything I've read by Levithan and this book came recommended.

It was a fun and easy read switching back and forth between Dash and Lily's POV as they traded a red notebook back and forth. I loved seeing the adventures they'd come up with for the other and hear the inner monologue of such radically different characters. They were funny and poignant in different ways. I loved the wit infused with Dash (courtesy of Levithan) and the sweetness that was Lily (courtesy of Cohn).

It took a few meandering turns in the final third and moved in ways I didn't totally expect. While those moves slowed the story down, it was also truer to life for it. I'd give it 4 stars out of 5. Not perfect but definitely a pleasant read. It was a good book to end my challenge on since I don't think I'm going to check off any more categories before January.
