** spoiler alert ** 
 Being a native New Yorker myself, it was definitely fun to read and know how they spent their days with the dare. Also, how can you not love a book when it talks about bookstores?! It's funny and a very sweet read for the holidays! It definitely captures what I love about the holidays MINUS the dance club at unholy hours of the night .. maybe I am just not much of a daredevil myself (; 
 If you like something sweet for the holidays, try it :)
