Teaser Tuesday: Dare You To

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading and slightly altered by Coffee, Books & Lipgloss

Basically a CBL TEASER TUESDAY works like this:

• Grab your current read

• Share 2 “teaser” sentences from a random page or a part you rather enjoyed and post it as a teaser.

• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! Make sure that what you share

doesn’t give too much away; you don’t want to ruin the book for others!

• As an option, you can give a short snippet of what you think so far... or not. That's optional.

• Share the TITLE and AUTHOR too, so that other participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teaser.

 For this week's Teaser Tuesday: *drum roll*

Title: Dare You To
Author: Katie McGarry
Publication Date: June 7, 2013
Purchase: Amazon | B&N | TBD

Synopsis: "I dare you..."

If anyone knew the truth about Beth Risk's home life, they'd send her mother to jail and seventeen-year-old Beth who knows where. So she protects her mom at all costs. Until the day her uncle swoops in and forces Beth to choose between her mom's freedom and her own happiness. That's how Beth finds herself living with an aunt who doesn't want her and going to a school that doesn't understand her. At all. Except for the one guy who shouldn't get her, but does....

Ryan Stone is the town golden boy, a popular baseball star jock-with secrets he can't tell anyone. Not even the friends he shares everything with, including the constant dares to do crazy things. The craziest? Asking out the Skater girl who couldn't be less interested in him.

But what begins as a dare becomes an intense attraction neither Ryan nor Beth expected. Suddenly, the boy with the flawless image risks his dreams-and his life-for the girl he loves, and the girl who won't let anyone get too close is daring herself to want it all....

Teaser:

"Mom thrives on sick men. I don't get it. Don't have to. I just clean up the mess."

Thoughts so far:

I can't help but compare Beth and Echo. Although they both experienced a rough time in their lives, I think Beth owns the crown in having the most fucked up life. A part of me hates her mother but I'm trying to convince myself that there's something in the end of this book that might make me understand her actions. I hope there is.
