The Fine Art of Truth or Dare

The Fine Art of Truth or Dare follows Ella, a scholarship student at a fancy private school where she is spending her senior year doing a research project on an artist whose life she is obsessed with.  When a fellow art student and popular kid Alex tutors her in French she is unable to believe that he is really attracted to her.

I liked large portions of this book but there were a few plot points that bugged me.  The art portion of the plot however I didn't like and I found myself skipping and skimming the sections regarding her research and obsession with the artist.  I loved the romance and Ella's struggles with her body image.  The characters were fantastic from Ella's friends and family and even her teachers.

Appropriateness:  This is a great romance that older teens will enjoy.  There is no sex but there is some nudity (in a scene regarding a scar of Ella's) and kissing.  I would recommend this book to readers 13+
