Dash & Lily

5.0

Synopsis:

A whirlwind holiday romance builds as cynical Dash and optimistic Lily trade dares, dreams and desires in the notebook they pass back and forth at locations all across New York City.

Quick Thoughts:

Based on the book series of the same name by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan, it appears the Netflix series will follow the events of the first book: “Lily, an unlucky in love 16-year-old, listens to the advice of her lucky-in-love brother and leaves her red notebook on her favourite bookshop shelf. The book, filled with a dare, has Lily waiting for the right guy to come along and accept her challenge. Dash just so happens to come across her notebook, curious by her challenge, and looking for the perfect distraction takes Lily’s Book of Dares. As Dash and Lily begin to send each other on a scavenger hunt all across Manhattan, the pair are falling in love with the on-page selves. Discovering if the pair have the same chemistry in person could be their biggest dare yet.”

While neither of the leads fall within the LGBTQ spectrum, it’s Lily’s brother Langston (Troy Iwata) that places this series on my 2020 Christmas Films list. I’m sure we will all want to cozy up and binge what is sure to be a cute young romance!
