You Wouldn't Dare by Samantha Markum

5.0

Samantha Markum did a great job making Junie feel like an authentic character. I was frustrated on her behalf that she seemed to be unfairly blamed for a lot of things, and I was rooting for her from beginning to end. She was not a perfect character, but I haven't met a person yet who doesn't make mistakes!

I really enjoyed the romance, and this book is SWOONY! I was swept up in the tide of the slow burn second chance romance. Add in an excellent coming of age storyline with messy feelings about new parental relationships and a hidden secret, and you have a wonderful YA book that's perfect for summer.

I am officially in love with Samantha Markum's writing. Her two books to date feel different but equally lovely, and I really appreciate how she is able to craft excellent coming of age stories with beautiful slow burn romances. I will be recommending this to EVERYONE.

Thank you to @wednesdaybooks for an eARC. All thoughts are my own.
