Review: Do You Dare ? - Lylah James
Review: Do You Dare ? - Book #1 Truth and Dare Duet Series - Lylah James - September 2019
This book I was talked into reading as I
had a couple of friends who had read it and wanted to talk and vent about it,
so in between dying my hair yesterday I decided to give it a go. I wasn't sure
what I was in for, just for the fact that I may have to vent at the end of it.
OMG they were right, not many books have affected me after reading them and
finishing but there was something about Do You Dare? that had me feeling
incomplete once I had finished the book. I felt let-down and I wanted more.
It's hard to explain but I just felt like something was missing but I couldn't
put my finger on what exactly was missing from the story. The book starts with
Lila being late for school and then being bumped into by Maddox in the coffee
shop. This led to the coffee being spilled and the start of a war. Both Maddox
and Lila are competitive and not ones to back down and instead of a simple
apology, the pair starts hardcore pranking one another. I did like how we saw
that pranks ran in Lila's family with her grandparents and parents. We
caught glimpses of Maddox's life but was mainly focused on Lila for Do You
Dare? This part annoyed me as we saw only parts of the interactions of Maddox's
family and we knew they supposedly hated him but not why they did. I was hoping
for a bit more depth of Maddox but we only saw surface Maddox and the odd gloss
over of his "real self". Then we come to freaking Paris and seriously
WTF was up with the dare to sleep with the other dude. Come on Maddox - Mr
Cocky, you must know by now she was freaking in love with you. It's been three
years. Then after the Paris trip, we get an epilogue which was like WTH just
happened, I am so confused. Epilogues are supposed to be conclusions and after
stories, not finish on a cliffhanger that leaves the reader thinking we have
missed a giant part of the story. I am going to read Book #2 when it's
released only because of the cliffhanger as I want to find out what happened.
