10 Truths and a Dare by Ashley Elston
4.0
Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for an early copy of this book!
Aw I had no clue there was a sequel to 10 Blind Dates coming out! In 10 Blind Dates, Sophie’s crazy huge family sets her up on, you guessed it, 10 blind dates over Christmas vacation. In 10 Truths and a Dare, it’s Sophie’s cousin Olivia’s turn with the drama. Olivia basically has 4 days to earn a missed high school gym credit in order to graduate as salutatorian with her class. But she also has a week of graduation parties to attend and an out-of-town mom who has Life360 on her ass - a tracking app where her mom can see her every move. So she sets up a super convoluted plan with her cousins to switch phones every day while she’s at the golf course, a modern parent trap.
Other than all that confusion, the story is pretty straightforward. Olivia goes to the golf stuff, trying to make the parties when she can, trying to spend time with family and friends, trying to keep her almost-failed graduation a secret. It’s a really hectic week, made even more so when she starts to crush on her cousins’ friend Leo. It’s definitely not a revolutionary story but it was fun and heartwarming with a big cast of characters. I liked getting the POV of everyone on phone duty - it gave a little more depth to the story and was also just funny.
This might not have ALL the charm of the first book, but it’s not far off, and would make the funniest teen summer movie on Netflix. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for something quick and fluffy.
