Truth or Dare...do you remember playing that game when you were younger? It's a game that allows risks to be taken and exposes hard truths that maybe wouldn't ordinarily be told. For Lea Baker and Colby Davis, the game gives the two best friends an opportunity to fess up to feelings that have always been there; it gives them a chance to become what they've always wanted to be - a couple.Truth or Dare by Sloan Johnson is the first novella in a 5 part serial following Lea and Colby as they try to make a go at a relationship and still follow their individual dreams. Part One sets up Lea and Colby's back story and provides insight into what each character thinks and feels about the other as well as what life has been like for them. Every book that I've read by Sloan does a fantastic job at exposing the characters' inner turmoil, and this one is no exception. The dual point of views allows readers to get inside Lea and Colby's minds and try to understand why they have held off exposing and exploring their true feelings. Because it's a novella, we are not given as in depth an understanding of all that Lea and Colby feel, but I know that readers will be given those insights as the other parts are released. Emotions are high all the way through this short read, and they will no doubt continue to be as they try to make a long distance relationship work, dealing with all of the doubts and insecurities that go along with a connection of this nature. I, for one, can't wait to see what happens and experience all of the highs and lows that Lea and Colby are sure to face.A copy of this book was kindly provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.4.5 poison apples (The Fairest of All Book Reviews)
