The Twelve Days of Dash & Lily by David Levithan, Rachel Cohn
2.0
I loved Dash & Lily's Book of Dares.
I was not a fan of this one.
Where the first one felt magical. This one was surprisingly annoying. Wholly unnecessary.
Dash's POV's were narrative heavy for such a short book. I was excited to read from him POV but his thoughts were boring. I commend him for trying so hard to get Lily to cheer up when she spent most of the book avoiding him or being soooo selfish.
Lily's POV was too angsty, childish and annoying. Lily really got on my nerves most of the time. I was sympathetic of her situation with her grandpa, but it has been months and she was not being fair with Dash, at all. Her parents should have been more supportive and sought help for Lily because she was clearly depressed by the thought of losing her grandpa.
The lack of communication between them was too much, I wanted to smack them over the head. It felt that they had aged down and not up in this book.
I got zero Christmasy feelings from reading this. Too angsty for my taste. I hope the next one is better!
