ByPublisher Description
New York Times bestselling authors Rachel Cohn and David Levithan are back together with a life-affirming holiday romance starring Dash and Lily. Just in time for the series release of Dash & Lily on Netflix!
Dash and Lily have had a tough year since readers watched the couple fall in love in Dash & Lily's Book of Dares. Lily's beloved grandfather suffered a heart attack, and his difficult road to recovery has taken a major toll on her typically sunny disposition. Lily's spark has dimmed so much that Langston, her brother, has put aside his grudge against Dash to team up and remind Lily what there is to love about life.

“No te voy a engañar: llegué a Los 12 días de Dash y Lily con expectativas altas. Leí El cuaderno de desafíos de Dash y Lily después de enamorarme completamente de la serie (aunque no sé cuán objetiva soy siendo una auténtica loca de la Navidad), y ese primer libro me dejó con muy buen sabor de boca. Así que esperaba encontrar más de lo mismo… y creo que precisamente no encontrarlo es lo que hizo que no disfrutara este segundo tanto como esperaba.
Este libro tiene menos magia. La Navidad está, sí, pero mucho más diluida, y el peso de la historia recae más en los dramas -y no tan dramas- del día a día. Unos conflictos que, en el caso de Lily, se sienten muchas veces exagerados, como si hiciera montañas de auténticos granos de arena. Eso hizo que, en varios momentos, el libro se me hiciera cuesta arriba.
El tono es claramente más agridulce y realista, algo que en principio no me habría molestado. De hecho, me gusta cuando las historias crecen con sus personajes. Aquí se nota que ya no son los críos del primer libro: empiezan a enfrentarse a problemas más reales, más adultos, y también a dificultades dentro de su relación. Porque querer a alguien no significa saber cómo estar con esa persona, y el libro refleja muy bien esa idea. Sin embargo, donde más he chocado ha sido con Lily. Entiendo que ninguno de los dos está en su mejor versión, pero mientras siento que Dash evoluciona y madura para bien, Lily se me ha hecho bastante insoportable a ratos. Justo cuando pensaba que volvía a ser ella, boom: otra actitud infantil o de niña mimada que me sacaba completamente de la lectura. Lo siento, pero no lo siento.
Aun así, el libro tiene momentos incómodos y frustrantes que funcionan precisamente porque son honestos. Y, como era de esperar, el final reconduce la historia: su relación crece, madura y, tras ese parpadeo, vuelven a encontrarse en el mismo camino.
¿Lo recomendaría? Depende. Si buscas un romance navideño con vibes mágicas, acogedoras y luminosas, mi recomendación es clara: quédate con el primero. Pero si te apetece una historia menos mágica y más sincera, que muestra el lado menos bonito de las relaciones y del crecimiento personal, puede que Los 12 días de Dash y Lily sí sea para ti.”
