A review by bookishlychar
10 Truths and a Dare by Ashley Elston

4.0

I hadn't realized this was a companion novel to 10 Blind Dates, which I really enjoyed when I read it. While you do not have to have read 10 Blind Dates to read this novel, it was great to be back with this big happy family again. This time we are focusing on Olivia, one of the cousins in the Fab Four we met previously. The premise is of the book is that the three other members of the Fab Four cover for Olivia while she tries to fulfill her PE credit during "Senior Party Week" in order to graduate and be salutatorian at her school.

This was a cute YA romance contemporary with friends, family and graduating from high school. I really liked the antics that the Fab Four got into as well as the romance that Olivia found herself in. I did however struggle that Olivia's parents had an app tracking her movements so closely on her phone and I missed some of the big family dynamics that existed in the previous novel. The Fab Four friendship group in this book was perfect, I loved how much Olivia trusted her friends to take over her phone for the week, it is such a great dynamic.

This was an enjoyable and quick read. I loved being back with this family again. I look forward to seeing what Elston does in the future! I received a copy of this from NetGalley and the publisher for an open and honest review. All opinions are 100% mine.
