Social media is such a huge part of our lives that everything written about it in Truth or Dare was pretty relatable. It’s always nice to see more books using social media as a basis in their stories. Together, they teamed up to create a Youtube channel to do a series of dares in hopes of gaining donations for Kam’s treatments. You get Claire’s side of the story first where we see her fall in love with Sef Malik and does anything to help him and his brother, Kam, who needs extra cash for intensive brain injury treatment. The writing was pretty great in this one, it sucks your right in and the concept of telling two sides of a story, with a third combining both views is pretty unique. Granted, there were some great points to Truth or Dare but overall I felt it could have gone in a different direction with its PoC narratives and relationships highlighted in the book. I’m definitely in the minority of people that didn’t quite enjoy this book. I had quite a number of issues with this book but glad I finished it. I was a little hesitant to start this because I’ve heard mixed reviews of her books. This was my first Non Pratt book, and most probably my last. Mild spoilers of the book contained in this review. Because when you’re willing to risk everything, what is there left to lose? But this means putting Claire’s love – and life – on the line.
Sef is prepared to do anything to help his recently disabled brother. But if it means getting Sef Malik to notice her, it’s a risk she’s happy to take. How far is too far when it comes to the people you love? Claire Casey hates being the centre of attention. A powerful and moving novel about bravery from the Guardian’s “writer to watch” Non Pratt, perfect for fans of Rainbow Rowell, John Green and Holly Bourne.
