Review
I so completely and utterly LOVED this New Adult serial by Sloan Johnson. Since I am not a huge fan of cliffhangers, I do not often read serials. But now, after reading Truth or Dare I feel I must be missing out! Sloan was able to grab my attention from the beginning and make me fall in love with all the characters in story.
Truth or Dare revolves around a pair of best friends, Lea and Colby, who happen to also be room-mates. These two bonded in High School and have only become closer as the years go on. Scared to mess up what they have and scared that their futures are taking them in different directions neither one will own up to the feelings they have for the other.
This was very much a coming of age story of two best friends deciding if having everything they ever worth the possibility of losing all that they have. Deciding to take that next step from a friendship that has lasted years and life changes is difficult and this story proves that.
I really enjoyed watching Lea and Colby try to deal with the feelings they were having and the ramifications of their actions. Truth or Dare found just the right mix of fun and excitement and emotional stress. I thought the idea of all of this coming to fruition from a game of Truth or Dare was unique and exciting. As a young girl I can clearly remember playing games like this and just wishing something exciting would come out of it, so for me this was a youthful fantasy come true. Sloan wrote the beginning of a fun but beautiful story that I cannot wait to continue.
