Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling authors Rachel Cohn and David Levithan are back together with a life-affirming holiday romance starring Dash and Lily. Just in time for the series release of Dash & Lily on Netflix!
Dash and Lily have had a tough year since readers watched the couple fall in love in Dash & Lily's Book of Dares. Lily's beloved grandfather suffered a heart attack, and his difficult road to recovery has taken a major toll on her typically sunny disposition. Lily's spark has dimmed so much that Langston, her brother, has put aside his grudge against Dash to team up and remind Lily what there is to love about life.
With only twelve days left until Christmas-Lily's favorite time of the year-Dash, Langston, and their friends take Manhattan by storm to help Lily recapture the holiday spirit of New York City in December, a time and place unlike anywhere else in the world. Told in alternating chapters, The Twelve Days of Dash & Lily is bound to be a Christmas favorite for seasons to come.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Dash and Lily met and fell for each other over the holidays in 2010's Dash & Lily's Book of Dares, and this rowdy sequel picks up one year later as the teens' relationship is showing signs of stress. Lily is concerned about her grandfather's health (he suffered a heart attack and a bad fall) and about Dash's true feelings for her; as a result, her typical holiday exuberance is all but gone. The authors again alternate between Dash and Lily's first-person perspectives, which are peppered with sharp banter and up-to-the-minute New York City references, and they send Lily on another clue-driven tour of the city. Like its predecessor, it's a full-fledged rom-com, though the rommy moments (Lily's heart-to-heart with her mother about relationships, Dash watching happiness sneak its way back into Lily's life) can sit uncomfortably beside the commy ones, which include a tomato juice squirt gun duel, X-rated gingerbread cookies, and an event that becomes known as the Great Glitterskating Massacre. Ages 12 up.
