YA
It's Christmastime, and sixteen-year-old Dash is in a very bah-humbug mood. His day brightens when he discovers a notebook with a tempting "DO YOU DARE?" title. Dash and Lily, the book's owner, swap the journal (and narration) back and forth for an "epistolary flirtation." Cohn and Levithan's talent for creating authentic teenage characters in all their messy glory is proven once again.
