Cute cute cute. Much better than Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List, and probably about the same level as Nick and Norah. I liked Lily a lot. Dash not quite as much, but he was mildly annoying in a very realistic teenage-boy way.
This book is genuinely sweet and fun. The characters are very snobby and pretentious and they definitely act like children who pretend to be all grown-up because they now are past the age of 16 and basically mini-adults in their own vision. But that doesn't take away from a plot I really liked with some great funny moments that had me laughing out loud. It's a sweet christmas story and I cannot wait to read the other two books in the series come december this year.
This book shares quite a bit with Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (including its authors), but I found it much more enjoyable.
Dash, as a character, got on my nerves at times. I wasn't a huge fan, but Lily was warm and funny and very likable. The entire cast was pretty likable, and they added a lot of flavor and character to an already charming novel.
It's a light read, perfect for the holidays, and it made me laugh and smile throughout. And that's really all it tries to do.
