As for the cover, I like it but I don't love it. It's gritty, which fits with Beth's personality and I love the distressed title along the side but the near-kiss isn't floating my boat. Plus, they're wet. It makes me want to give them both fluffy towels and offer them a place by the fire so they can dry off. Wouldn't want them to catch a cold, after all.
DARE YOU TO (Pushing the Limits #2) by Katie McGarry
YA Contemporary Romance

"I dare you..."
If anyone knew the truth about Beth Risk's home life, they'd send her mother to jail and seventeen-year-old Beth who knows where. So she protects her mom at all costs. Until the day her uncle swoops in and forces Beth to choose between her mom's freedom and her own happiness. That's how Beth finds herself living with an aunt who doesn't want her and going to a school that doesn't understand her. At all. Except for the one guy who shouldn't get her, but does....
Ryan Stone is the town golden boy, a popular baseball star jock-with secrets he can't tell anyone. Not even the friends he shares everything with, including the constant dares to do crazy things. The craziest? Asking out the Skater girl who couldn't be less interested in him.
But what begins as a dare becomes an intense attraction neither Ryan nor Beth expected. Suddenly, the boy with the flawless image risks his dreams-and his life-for the girl he loves, and the girl who won't let anyone get too close is daring herself to want it all....

My Enormous TBR Pile
Ahhhh! So excited for this Mary! I was hoping Beth's romance would be with Isaiah, but maybe he's getting his own book after this one? Ryan sounds just as enjoyable, so I know I won't be disappointed. Please come faster May.
ReplyDeleteYES! I need Dare You To like NOW! The cover is just sooo pretty and I loved Pushing the Limits!! :)
ReplyDeleteI don't like the cover, I like the font but I don't like the picture, I think they look way too old. ;P
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued about this, and how Beth's situation changed from the end of Pushing the Limits to this.
:D
I wasn't as big a fan as some, but I am still looking forward to this. I agree with jenny - it'd be cool if Beth was with Isaiah.
ReplyDeleteI actually really love the wetness on the cover-I think that's something I just like to see on covers because Lisa Schroeder's Falling For You was also appealing to me.
ReplyDeleteYes! I loved PUshing the Limits, though not as much as most people, and I'm eager to read this one. Plus, the cover is awesome. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteLove the cover! I still have to read Pushing the Limits but I am determined to do so before this one releases!
