For a cosier Christmas YA read, David Levithan and Rachel Cohns The Twelve Days of Dash and Lily is a he-said, she-said romance about a couple struggling after a year together (the pair first met in Dash and Lilys Book of Dares), and an attempt to rekindle Christmas magic in a world that seems a little too bleak for it to matter. The New York setting lends this quirky love story a glamour that will appeal to young teens', Claire Hennessy, The Irish Times 'I loved being in the company of Dash & Lily and was so distraught when i finished the last page of The Twelve Days. I miss those guys. So David & Rachel if you ever read this post then you must write a new one each Christmas to keep me going please.', Gill, The Book Magpie
