About this ebook
"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.

This book had such interesting vibes. There's the southern small town vibes. The insecure in their skin teenage vibes. The reckless vibes. I could go on. I will say that my little southern heart was so thrilled for the Publix mention. That's a really big deal to me. Not only is it an amazing store with the best tea I've ever had, but my mom worked there for twenty years. I'm very familiar with the company. But I digress. This isn't a review on Publix.

An extraordinarily exceptional; journey into the complex emotions and everyday life of a teen, June Nash, and her friends. There are levels of relationships explored as the story progresses. I found the novel to be captivating and true to life. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
