Book description
Beth and me wedged tight, jeaned legs pressed against each other. The
sound of our own breathing. Before we all stopped believing a tornado,
or anything, could touch us, ever. Addy Hanlon and Beth Cassidy are
tough, inseparable, invincible. No pair more charismatic or
sophisticated. No pair more dangerous. But with the fall term, their new
coach arrives and things begin to change. She has plans for the cheer
squad: all sleek poise and cool command, the girls are soon entirely in
her thrall. Faster, harder, higher, thinner, the stakes raised, their
world contracting, they compete to risk - everything. She, meantime, has
been crossing a line of her own. From the brilliant author of The End of
Everything, Dare Me is a searing novel about the allure of adulthood and
the dark heart of adolescence: the fierce bonds between girls, their
bitter rivalries, and their power to transform one another.
