Plot:
College was supposed to be my chance to get over my ugly-duckling complex and spread my wings. Instead, I wound up in a sorority full of mean girls. I already have a hard time fitting in, so when my Kappa Chi sisters issue the challenge, I can’t say no.
The dare: seduce the hottest new hockey player in the junior class.
Conor Edwards is a regular at Greek Row parties…and in Greek Row sorority beds. He’s the one you fall for before you learn that guys like him don’t give girls like me a second glance. Except Mr. Popular throws me for a loop—rather than laughing in my face, he does me a solid by letting me take him upstairs to pretend we’re getting busy.
Even crazier, now he wants to keep pretending. Turns out Conor loves games, and he thinks it’s fun to pull the wool over my frenemies’ eyes.
But resisting his easy charm and surfer-boy hotness is darn near impossible. Though I’m realizing there’s much more to Conor’s story than his fan club can see.
And the longer this silly ruse goes on, the greater the danger of it all blowing up in my face.
Conclusion:
'The Dare' ticked a lot of my boxes: sports romance, fake relationship, curvy heroine, and a college romance.
I really loved how Conor empowered Taylor and how sweet he was in general. The scene at the beginning where they fake having sex was really funny. I liked how he was okay with helping her. I also liked that he didn't pressure Taylor in any way and just waited until she was ready.
Something I really hated was the sorority sisters. Typical mean girls who're just super insecure about themselves and let that out on others.
Taylor was a very relatable character because of her insecurities. I, and most other young girls, know how it feels to be insecure about our bodies all the time because we don't fit society's beauty standards.
I'm really sad that the 'Briar-U' - series is over now but Elle Kennedy is the queen of sports romance books so I'm sure that she'll release more books that I'm gonna adore.
