From Goodreads:
It's Senior Week, that magical in-between time after classes have ended but before graduation, chock-full of gimmicky theme parties, last-minute bonding, and family traditions. Olivia couldn't be more ready. Class salutatorian and confident in her future at LSU, she's poised to sail through to the next phase of her life.
But when the tiny hiccup of an unsigned off-campus P.E. form puts Olivia in danger of not graduating at all, she has one week to set things straight without tipping off her very big and very nosy extended family. Volunteering to help at a local golf tournament should do it, but since Olivia's mom equipped her phone with a tracking app, there'll be no hiding the fact that she's at the golf course instead of all the graduation parties happening at the same time. Unless, that is, she can convince the Fab Four--her ride-or-die cousins and best friends Sophie, Charlie, and Wes--to trade phones with her as they go through the motions of playing Olivia for the week.
Sure, certain members of the golf team are none too pleased with Olivia's sudden "passion" for the game. And sure, a very cute, very off-limits boy keeps popping up in Olivia's orbit. But she is focused! She has a schedule and a plan! Nothing can possibly go wrong . . . right?
Rating: 3 of 5 stars
First of all if I find myself my own Wes, Sophie and Charlie, I'm never letting them go.
If I only have one word to describe 10 Truths and a Dare, it's fun. It got ridiculous at times but it was fun. If you're going for funny and lighthearted with a tiny bit of romance, you should definitely go for this.
Now I can't say I remember all that much from 10 Blind Dates but I really enjoyed the Sophie and Wes cameos! Together with Charlie, they get their own chapters and it was lovely! I love seeing them again!
“Like We’ll have to visit you in jail screwed up? Maybe I can bake a file in one of my cakes. Help you bust outta there.” - I knew there was a reason I ADORE Nonna!
I actually had a hard time connecting with the story for the first half. But I pushed through and I grew to love it. Unfortunately, although I may not dislike Olivia I don't exactly have much love for her. One of the things I'm really particular about is being on time. I hate being late and I hate it when other people are late. And Olivia? She took her second chance with Coach Cantu for granted. Three out of the four days, she was late. And the one time she wasn't was only because she had to make up for a mistake. It felt like she did the exact same thing she did that got her into this mess in the first place. Where's her salutatorian brain and dedication? And one other thing she took for granted? Sophie, Wes and Charlie. I honestly think they could do better than her. But I did love the salutatorian speech. Where was that Olivia for most of the book?!
(The whole app thing was a bit ridiculous?? Or is that just me??)
Overall, this was an okay read. I was entertained for the most part. I now have this need to re- read 10 Blind Dates.
I received an ARC via Netgalley to read and review. Quoted excerpt/s may change in the final print.
