This was such a fun and quick read. It's probably not completely necessary to read 10 Blind Dates first, but I was glad I had that background of Olivia's friend group (which is very tightly-knit) and family (which is huge and always in each other's business).
The driving force of this book is the fact that Olivia's friend group helps cover for her while her parents are out of town. Olivia has an app on her phone that tracks her location so her parents can keep tabs on her while they're away. It was fun to see Olivia's friends react and respond to the messages Olivia would receive while they were on "phone duty." I honestly wish I had a friend group that I could trust to take my phone for an entire week and text people back as if they're me. But on the other hand, I'm glad I don't have a parent that would track my every move on an app on the phone and text me every 10 minutes from across the country about what I should be wearing and doing.
This was fun for a quick and cute YA contemporary. Not quite to the parr of 10 Blind Dates, but I'm not mad that I read it.

Thank you to #NetGalley and #Disney-Hyperion for allowing me to read this book in exchange for my honest review.I loved 10 Blind Dates by the same author so I decided I wanted to read this as well. It did not disappoint me and I really liked it too.

Het is een logische timing dat 10 truths en een dare van Ashley Elston op dit moment uit komt. De eindexamens zijn in volle gang en iedereen hoopt dat begeerde diploma te halen, op weg naar een nieuwe toekomst zoals een vervolgopleiding. In dit boek volgen we Olivia, die op het allerlaatste moment haar diploma dreigt mis te lopen. Oei!
Olivia staat op het punt om af te studeren, wanneer ze erachter komt dat ze één onderdeel van haar studie nog niet heeft afgerond. Vrijwilligerswerk bij een plaatselijk golftoernooi zou haar uit de brand moeten helpen om ervoor te zorgen dat ze nét op tijd alles in orde heeft. Ze moet er dan alleen wel voor zorgen dat ze dit geheimhoudt voor haar grote nieuwsgierige familie die via een app ook nog eens elke stap kan volgen die Olivia zet. Gelukkig kunnen de andere leden van het Fab Four-team Sophie, Charlie, en Wes, haar helpen dit geheim te bewaren. Wat kan er nog gebeuren nu Olivia’s partners in crime ook nog eens een goed plan hebben? Of schoppen de golfers en die knappe, maar vooral onbereikbare jongen toch haar hele plan in de war?

Thank you Netgalley and Disney Publishing for an advanced copy of this book.
While it’s been many (undisclosed) years since I graduated from high school, I do remember the excitement and the stress in the days leading up to it. 10 truths and a dare captures those moments spectacularly.
I enjoyed the hijinks and problem solving that teenagers tend to get themselves into but as a mom I kept saying “just tell your parents!” Though honestly it was probably for the best as they were all going to be on their own soon and needed to solve things themselves.
