"Perfect for fans of Nina Moreno, Gilmore Girls, and Sarah Dessen,
You Wouldn't Dare will wrap you up in a sun-drenched, salt-scented hug
and refuse to let you go." - Amanda Quain, author of Accomplished: A
Georgie Darcy Novel
A rom com about trying to have the summer of your life before
everything changes - only to realize change might be exactly what you
need...
When Juniper Nash Abreheart kissed Graham Isham for the first time, she
had no idea it would nearly be the end of their friendship.
More specifically, she had no idea that the terrible, unforgivable thing
she did to keep their summer fling a secret wouldn't just ruin their
friendship, but also Graham's entire life. Now, months since the
fallout, Junie and Graham spend most of their time sidestepping
conversational landmines on the journey back to normalcy.
Junie is sure the strangeness between her and Graham is her biggest
problem - until her mom hires Tallulah, her boyfriend's surly teenage
daughter, to work at their family café, and then announces they'll all
be moving in together at the end of the summer. The only bright spot
ahead is Junie's dad's upcoming visit, just in time for her community
theater production. And then poor turnout soon threatens that.
But when Junie starts to realize the feelings she swore to take care of
last summer have lingered, saving her production and managing her
hostile relationship with Tallulah might be the least of her problems.
Graham isn't just off limits - their friendship has been mended to
barely withstand a breeze, and the gale force of Junie's feelings could
be just what breaks them.
Samantha Markum's You Wouldn't Dare is about the risks and triumphs
that come with being brave enough to take a chance at what you really
want, including love.
