A charming YA book about two people who couldnât be more opposite of one another. One loves Christmas (Lily) and the other one just doesnât care for how commercialism has become and is very cynical (Dash) and he also just doesnât love Christmas.
Lily is currently living with her older brother who finds her to be too isolated for the holidays as their parents went to Fuji Island for their missed honeymoon that they couldnât afford when they originally got married.
Dash is alone for the holidays because his parents got a divorce around Christmas and they both wanted to do some spending alone time after the divorce so Dash tells them each, heâs going to spend the holiday with the other parent. This allows them to take the solo vacations they both needed and wonât feel guilty.
Lilyâs brother knows Lily is socially awkward and he tries to get her to go out and have fun and meet and make friends. He takes one of her mole skin books and writes flirty things in it and tells her to place it in her beloved book store, The Strand. For those who donât know, The Strand Bookstore is a legendary independent bookstore located at 828 Broadway, at the corner of East 12th Street in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. They were deeply affected by the pandemic and are struggling to stay alive. This was also in a documentary, called The Booksellers on Amazon Prime. All Lily has to do is to take her red skin mole and leave the notebook at a certain location and whoever picks it up, has to do the dares written inside and then complete the dares and then write back and leave it back in the same spot where they found it.
