Dared popped up for me as an Instagram ad, and that one little recommendation ended up pulling me into the entire series. The plot of this book pulled me in right away, and I was excited to see how Finn and Leo’s story would unfold.
The delivery didn’t always match the potential, though. Some parts felt rushed, especially moments that could have used a moment for everything to sink in. I kept wishing the story would slow down just enough to let the emotional pieces land the way they were meant to.
Even with that, I still liked the characters a lot. Finn has that golden retriever energy that makes him instantly lovable, and Leo’s social anxiety gives him a softness that makes you want to protect him. They’re easy to root for, even when the pacing gets uneven.
Overall, a fun read with characters I couldn't help liking, even if the execution didn’t fully live up to the promise. A solid 3.5 stars.
