Ella is nearly
invisible at the Willing School, and that's just fine by her. She's got
her friends - the fabulous Frankie and their sweet cohort Sadie. She's
got her art - and her idol, the unappreciated 19th-century painter
Edward Willing. Still, it's hard being a nobody and having a crush on
the biggest somebody in the school: Alex Bainbridge. Especially when he
is your French tutor, and lessons have started becoming, well, certainly
more interesting than French ever has been before. But can the
invisible girl actually end up with a happily ever after with the golden
boy, when no one even knows they're dating? And is Ella going to dare
to be that girl?
The Fine Art of Truth or Dare sounds like a cute read and it was but it just wasn't as good as I expected. The first couple chapters we're introduced to Ella an art junkie who is in love with Edward Willing who happens to be dead. And her two best friends; Frankie and Sadie. I loved Frankie he was one of those characters you can't help but want to be friends with them in real life. Sadie I felt like we didn't get to know her as much as Frankie but I still liked her. Ella's like any other love struck teenage girl. She likes this guy Alex Bainbridge one of the most popular guys at Willing. I didn't really think much of Alex because I was sort of in and out of the book but in the end I neither liked him or disliked him. He was just kind of blah. He's pretty much like another stereotypical athletic-boy-who-is-dating-the-most-popular-girl-but-who-then-starts-to-fall-in-love-with-the-quiet-invisible-girl-and-makes-her-feel-special. Not that there's anything wrong with that but it's just so overused. Overall this book was ok it was pretty long for my taste but I rate it 3 out of 5 stars.
Happy Reading,
