Truth or Dare by Jacqueline Green
3.0
Surrounds the lives of three teenage girls who begin getting dares from an anonymous "darer". Each girl has their own dark secrets and storylines separate from the main mystery surrounding the story. The dares that the girls begin receiving threaten to expose their lies unless they follow through with the game.
This book is pretty much just like Pretty Little Liars. You have a group of girls who are juggling romance, pressures of being a teenager in high school, and personal insecurities that most girls in high school deal with. Above all that, they're being tormented by someone anonymous who is threatening to expose their secrets. As a huge fan of Pretty Little Liars, I relatively enjoyed the book. Tenley, one of the main girls, I feel was written in a way that the author didn't know how to write. It's like she was trying to hard to write Tenley as the It Girl, instead of just letting the character herself flow. There are several occasions where the author doesn't do that well with explaining or going into detail some occurrences and scenes. She quickly browsed over them and did little explaining of what happened and how we got to where we are now. The twist at the end wasn't shocking but it did make sense for the culprit's motive. One thing I did enjoy about Green's writing is that she definitely developed the three main leads by the end, which I enjoyed seeing. Hoping they stay developed in the sequel.
