YA Best Books-Romance

Cohn, Rachel & Levithan, David. (2010). Dash and Lily's Book Of Dares.
Cohn and Levithan team up again after the success of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist to write a book that is from two perspectives sharing the same experience.  Lily leaves a red notebook hidden on the shelves  in her favorite bookstore in New York City with a message to the person who finds it and opens it.  Lily's intriguing message is this, "I've left some clues for you. If you want them, turn the page.  If you don't, put the book back on the shelf, please." (p.4).  Who can resist this temptation, certainly not Dash. 

Dash and Lily trade the book back and forth with clues that send them all over New York City for two weeks.  They learn about each other through the clues, the places they are sent, and the people they meet, but oddly they never meet in person.  Just when it seems that the whole experiment has runs its course, much to their dismay, fate plays its hand.
