4.5 
 if i have to be fair, i didn't read this book when i got it from the netgalley, because i disliked beth very much in Pushing the Limits. i knew she had issues that made her the way she was, but i couldn't stand her and her destructive ways. it took me over a year to get around my dislike and try to read the book... and wow!!! woowww!! 
 i think i like Dare You To more than Pushing the Limits, i'm not entirely sure, but Dare You To was a great love story and despite my previous statement about beth, i ended up liking her a lot in this book. her snarky comments, her being a force of nature, her soft spots... everything about her... 
 i did like ryan, although his obsession with winning and dares almost got me on my nerves, but he was sweet and trustworthy and a great guy and... *sigh* (and he didn't call her "babe") 
 i also like the supporting characters like chris and lacy and logar. they were very good portrayed and left me with the impression that it would be great to read more about them. 
 the story with isaiah... well, i finish Pushing the Limits with the idea that beth and he were a couple. that was another reason why i was so reluctant to read this one, but now i get why they couldn't be a couple. they are friends of the best kind and i really hope isaiah finally understands this in Crash into You and goes back to beth at some point. 
 why i didn't exactly like or it was more something that bothered me it was the strict wish of beth's uncle to separate her from her old friends. i understand about the mother, but the friends... i couldn't get it. noah and isaiah are good guys, with problems, but good. it didn't make much sense to me. 
 and the other thing i found a bit unbelievable was the change in beth from skater chick into popular girl. i'm sorry, but that was too much... i don't care if she used to like ribbons and see herself like a princess. (view spoiler)[that meteoric ascend into popularity at the end becoming homecoming queen was too much. (hide spoiler)] 
 the summary of the words written here is that i liked this book a lot, plot, characters, writing... everything, and i'm dying to know more about isaiah in the hope to get a glimpse of how beth is doing :) 
 (and of course, i can't wait to read Breaking the Rules) 
 thanks to netgalley and harlequin to provide me with a copy of this book
