A review by caseythecanadianlesbrarian
The Daring Game by Kit Pearson

3.0

The character's perspective and her excitement about boarding school, and being in that in between kid and teen space were all interesting aspects of this book. But, like Eliza in this book who is constantly disappointed at how her real life boarding school doesn't measure up to and isn't exciting like the ones she's read about, I felt disappointed at the lack of emotional or plot-driven punches in this book. It was like Pearson was leading you on to expect some kind of great disaster or big trouble, and then every time I was like, is that it? So plot-wise it felt underwhelming. In terms of character is was quite interesting, but didn't grab me to a really full extent.
