![]() ![]() From the overuse of the miscommunication trope, to Dash and Lily themselves having not really developed since the first book, I ended up quite disappointed. Generally, the first half of Mind the Gap was awkward. It was difficult to work through this - being thrown in at every opportunity - and get lost in the story beneath. Whereas some of the book’s content feels like a love letter to the UK (well, to Oxford and London), I found a lot of it simply demonstrated a misunderstanding of my country. Next, cue painfully stereotypical (and sometimes incorrect) depictions of the UK. The first chapter is a whirlwind of information that only serves to throw you in at the deep end. However the way the reader is brought up to speed felt very rushed. The jump in time didn’t bother me, as the same year-long gap happened between the first and second books. Mind the Gap begins another year on from The Twelve Days of Dash and Lily, with Dash now at university and Lily taking a gap year to focus on her dog-walking business. It’s the perfect romantic gesture - but it quickly spirals out of control.Īnyone that knows me knows that I adore the Dash and Lily series. When Dash breaks the news that he won’t be coming home for Christmas, Lily decides to join him in London. ![]() Unfortunately, Mind the Gap, Dash and Lily didn’t wow me as much as I’d hoped.ĭash and Lily are now an ocean apart, with Dash at Oxford University and Lily in New York.
