Dare You To
by Katie McGarry
Dare You To
Song I played while reading: Litost by X Ambassadors
Pushing the Limitswas, no, IS such a good book, but Dare You To was heart-wrenching and tear jerking!
SUMMARY
Dare You To by Katie McGarry is the sequel to the first book (Pushing The Limits). But, now it is in the perspectives of Ryan Stone and Elisabeth "Beth" Risk. It all starts with a dare. Ryan, who takes dares seriously along with his friends, are at a taco-joint. There, Ryan was dared to ask Biker chick, Beth, for her phone number...unsuccessfully.
"I'll tell you what." She flashes a smile that drips with a mixture of allure and wickedness. "If you can walk me to my car and open the doors for me, I'll give you my number."
Can.
Seconds later...
"Victory doesn't last long. I freeze midstep
on the sidewalk. Before she can prance past the yellow lines confining an old rusty car, two menacing guys climb out and neither appears happy."
...In no hurry to go inside and explain to my friends how I lost, I stay on the sidewalk. The car slowly drives by and Beth presses her palm against the passenger window. Written in black marker is the word signaling my defeat: can't.
(I'D SAY THAT WAS A PWN.) xD And then the two went from there. *__*
Later, 17 year old Beth is forced to live with her uncle in Groveton from Louisville, legendary Yankees player, Scott, after Beth is arrested for busting out her mom's boyfriend's car windows Which isn't true. Beth's mom took out the windows, but Beth took the fall for it since her mom was still on probation and Beth didn't want her to go to jail.
Ryan is a varsity pitcher who is heavily dedicated to baseball. People expects him and his family to be "perfect," until Ryan's older brother who's in college, Mark, told them he was gay and was soon permanently kicked out of the house. Now, Ryan's parents can't stand each other, his dad pretends Mark doesn't exist anymore, and his dad expects Ryan to skip college and play pro baseball. Simply put, Ryan's parents are selfish bastards who only care about appearances and they are basically controlling his choices and decisions.
This book earned 5 stars because not only was it obviously SO romantic, but it was also sad and funny too!
Favorite quote: "Jocks usually aren't smart. Their muscles feast on their brains." -Beth
Mrs. Katie McGarry, you've outdone yourself once again! I expect Crash Into You (3rd book of Pushing The Limits series) to be kick-ass! *__* Crash Into You> will now have Isaiah and Rachel take the readers away with drag races and CARS!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for readers who are die-hard YA romantics who loves dares...
