Dash & Lily's Book of Dares was an Addicted to YA Book of the Month for March 2014, and I'm so glad for that! I read Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist a few years ago and didn't love it as much as I thought I would. (And due to that movie, I kept seeing Dash played by Michael Cera in my head...) However, Dash & Lily was so much fun! I didn't realize it was Christmasy in theme, so that was poor timing a bit. The story itself though would have been something I dreamed of doing in high school -- passing messages to book-loving boys via a secret notebook?? Sign me up! Even though Lily seems crazy naive, I enjoyed her innocence in comparison to the usual Manhattan heroine. The supporting cast adds a lot of humor so the romantic mush doesn't get too much. 
 These books by Cohn & Leviathan serve to reignite the cinematic nostalgia for big city New York life that I loved as a mid90s youth. Overall, a fun and girly guilty pleasure read!
