Dash & Lily's Book of Dares


Words create magic. Anonymously written, words are powerful enough to make people imagine something different other than reality. It is called expectation. Words sometimes hypnotize and flatter, giving the wrong impression. However, written words are also the author's form of escape, of what he or she really wants to be. In words, everything is possible. Our bodies only limit what kind of person we can project to others.

Dash & Lily's Book of Dares tells us a story of words exchanged in a mysterious red notebook. Follow the adventure of Dash and Lily, as they find themselves falling in love with each other even before they met. 

Favorite quote:
"Danger comes in many forms, I suppose. For some people, it might be jumping off a bridge or climbing impossible mountains. For others, it could be a tawdry love affair or telling off a mean-looking bus driver because he doesn't like to stop for noisy teenagers. It could be cheating at cards or eating a peanut even though you're allergic.

For me, danger might be getting out from under the protective cloak of my family and venturing into the world more on my own, even though I don't know what - or who - awaits me. I wish you were part of this plan. But are you dangerous? Somehow I doubt it. I'm scared you're just a figment of my imagination.

I think it's time to experience life outside the notebook."
