My review of Dare Me by Megan Abbott is ready on Bookmunch.

I don't like to label books, and the term 'holiday reads' grates on me in particular, but Dare Me turned out to be a perfect summer novel, not too heavy and yet exciting. Maybe it is because the world of its characters, cheerleaders Addy, Beth and their coach Beth, is so far from mine and at the same time its teenage angst and confusion are so well captured that I can at once relate to it and still view it as entertainment, not something to think about for years afterwards.
