Love Will Keep Us Together....


Lily is a sentimental teen, Dash is not. Lily loves Christmas, Dash does not. Lily and Dash are polar opposites, so when Lily leaves a red moleskin notebook at the used bookstore, it is inevitable that Dash should be the person that finds it. Cohn and Levithan have paired up again to write a schmaltzy holiday novel. On paper Dash and Lily shouldn’t be compatible, but as they begin to reveal little bits of themselves through challenges presented in the red moleskin notebook, it becomes apparent that they are more alike than even they would like to admit.
This romantic holiday romp enforces the idea that sometimes the people we imagine in our heads are nothing like their real life counterpart, and sometimes they can be exactly what we are looking for. Readers will follow through the ins and outs of New York city, with characters that are edgy and humorous all at the same time.
Not as inventive or cute Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist, but will be sure to grab fans of both of these authors.
