The show focuses on a whirlwind romance between the cynical Dash (Creator/AustinAbrams) and the optimistic Lily (Creator/MidoriFrancis). A week before Christmas, the former finds a certain red notebook the latter left hoping it would bring her one true love to her. The thing is, it actually ''works'' -- Dash and Lily get to know each other and grow as people through the dares and letters they leave for each other in the notebook. The catch? The whole thing remains semi-anonymous and the two try their best not to meet, even as it becomes increasingly clear how compatible they are.

* BettyAndVeronica: The contrast between Dash's love interests, Sofia and Lily. Sofia has many traits of the Veronica -- a sophisticated and well-traveled foreigner who does all the socializing for him. Lily is Betty-like: an awkward and upbeat girl who has lived her whole life in New York City and who instantly connects with Dash on a deep level. The only trait that flips is their familiarity with Dash: Sofia is the ex-girlfriend for whom he still has nebulous feelings for, Lily is the mysterious new girl whom he hasn't met yet.

* JerkassBall: Lily and her parents are set up as having a loving relationship right off the bat, but the movie gives her mother and father very few if any redeeming qualities whatsoever: first they fly off to Fiji for a "second honeymoon" and neglect to tell Lily until the very moment they're running out the front door, leaving her to contemplate Christmas alone as her brother and grandfather each appear to have someone else to share it with; said trip to Fiji turns out to be job-related, meaning that they would have to uproot Lily's entire life in New York, which they simply expect her to be okay with; and to top it all off, when they do get back from Fiji for Chrismas, they seem somewhat unreceptive to their daughter's distress, not even bothering to ask her what happened when she's very obviously hurting.

Cynical [[TheGrinch Grinch]] Dash on the other hand has a far more subdued color palette, mainly dark blue, grey and black.
