This was such a fun romp through one girl's end of senior year—I loved watching the friendships, romance, and life-path determining choices. A total joy!

After enjoying 10 Blind Dates, I knew I had to pick up this companion. 10 Truths and a Dare is just as adorable and sweet as the first book. While I still think 10 Blind Dates is my favourite, I really enjoyed Ashley Elston's writing and the adorable characters. It's a quick read that many teens will love.

This book was just sadly not for me! I was hoping for something different but it turned out to be something I was not expecting, which is okay and I'm sure someone else would love it!

Thank you to #NetGalley and #Disney-Hyperion for allowing me to read this book in exchange for my honest review.I loved 10 Blind Dates by the same author so I decided I wanted to read this as well. It did not disappoint me and I really liked it too.

I put off reading this book multiple times. I simply couldn't get into it. I'm so glad that I tried it just one more time. I have 10 Blind Dates but I think it was more Christmas feeling so I put it off until later this year, so I said I'd try 10 Truths and a Dare one last time. I am so glad that I did!

This book was adorable. We follow Olivia as she tries to juggle responsibilities for finishing her senior year on time after a misunderstanding/mishap messed up getting her the final credit that she needed. Along the way, she meets new . . . although, familiar . . . friends and builds relationships.

I absolutely loved the family dynamic in this book. I'm from a very, very small family so it's not something I'll ever be familiar with. But the big family vibe is so fun to read about. The way Olivia and her cousins get along is so heartwarming and I love it. The going all the way, no boundaries for each other is the stuff I love seeing in families.

Overall, a book filled with so many laughs and mayhem among friends and family as one girl rights her wrongs. I can't wait to go back to 10 Blind Dates now.

I received this ARC as an ebook from Netgalley and the publisher. Ashley Elston is fantastic at writing quick, fun, witty reads that just make you happy! That's what this one is as well. Just a quick and fun read for anyone to pick up and read without a care in the world. This would be a great book for students who are getting ready to graduate or right after graduation as a quick summer read.

Originally didn’t give feedback because I DNF, but it’s hurting my feedback ratio, so I will tell you my thoughts. I read the previous book from this author and it was cute and Christmas-y, and this one didn’t have the same spark and was centered around school and I hate reading about school. I didn’t feel the same love as the other one so I stopped reading and my tastes have changed greatly since I read the other one, so that’s on me. I also never rate books I DNF but this makes me.

Another young adult book, another DNF. It’s boding that I’m just old and crotchety at this point. Couldn’t get in to the storyline.

What a fun follow-up to 10 Blind Dates. It was fun to return to these characters for another adventure.

I absolutely love Ashley Elstons story telling. It was so fun returning to this family. I didn’t love this as much as 10 Blind Dates but it was still just as entertaining

I LOVED THIS BOOK! After reading 10 Blind dates, I knew I had to pick up more my Ashley Elston. I loved this book with my full heart. Through the twist and turns I fell more in love with Olivia. She is real and lovely. I can not wait to give this to students in my classroom. I think they will be able to understand how important high school class, friendship and family.

I am so glad to be back with this family! In 10 Blind Dates, I absolutely loved getting to know this family through Sophie’s eyes and it was nice to get more POVs this time around with Olivia, Charlie & Wes added to the mix. I want Nonna to adopt me and I want to hang out with the fab 4. Loved Olivia & Leo’s relationship as well and loved getting to know the evil Joe’s through Leo’s eyes. Now I need a Charlie book! I will read anything that Ashley Elston writes in general but especially with this sweet family.

I read this book all in one gulp. I love this big, noisy Italian family who drive each other crazy, but always have each other’s back. And how impossible it is to keep a secret from anyone...for long. I have to say, all the things that went wrong really unnerved me. I had to finish just to make sure everyone was okay. Hilarious and emotional and fun.

Ashley Elston's writing work for me because it is engaging and addictive. I can't wait to read what else she ends up writing. Thank you for letting me read and review this book.

This family is still so fun. I had a blast reading this and having a new adventure with a different cousin.
Majority of the issues that came up could have been solved with one conversation and some of the adults acted real childish but the overall story was very fun and fast paced.

Ashley Elston is a staple in the YA community. I really enjoyed this follow up novel! I would definitely recommend this to a younger high school crowd who enjoys YA contemporary.
