When Dash leads his separated parents
to believe that he’ll be spending Christmas with the other, they each plan
holidays with their new partners and leave Dash to his own devices in New York
City. He despises Christmas, but when he finds a notebook in his favourite
bookshop filled with clues and dares left by a stranger, this is the perfect
thing to keep him occupied. The notebook is Lily’s project, as directed by her
brother, in a bid to keep her busy while their parents take a second honeymoon
in Fiji over Christmas. As the pair lead each other in a scavenger’s hunt over
New York, recruiting friends and relatives to help keep their identities
secret in the process, they begin falling for each other on paper. Meeting in
person will be their biggest dare yet …
