A review by novelette
The Twelve Days of Dash & Lily by Rachel Cohn, David Levithan

3.0

I liked the story, but I struggle with the character of Lilly. I thought she might have been younger, like 13 or 14, but it appears that she is doing dog walking and SAT prep. Then I thought maybe she is handicapped, and that is why she seemed so immature? But based on the actions of others, maybe the authors just made a choice to write her like a complete unlikeable selfish ass. I personally do not understand why Dash even bothered with her or her family if they are going to treat him so poorly. Also, the authors made Boomer into the biggest idiot in the history of time. He started out okay, and by the end of the book, I'm surprised they didn't have him eating crayons.
