finally saying goodbye to these characters, even if i’m not in favor of it.

controversial to a lot of opinions, i actually loved the dare. yes, it’s a romance book just like the other books in the series, but compared to the other books, it has more depth to it. it tackles relevant topics like fatphobia, sexual harassment, sexual assault, and body shaming— in a non-misleading way.

i agree that it may not be the best closing novel for a series, but as a stand-alone, it’s a pretty good book.

conor and taylor’s relationship is very realistic in terms of college romance. it pisses me off that they won’t talk about their problems first and always ends up taking a break from their relationship. but as i’ve said, it showcases a realistic relationship, so i couldn’t bother to give it at most 4 stars.

still bittersweet about leaving these characters, but it is what it is.
