I give this book a 3.5 out of 5 stars. 
 So I've been looking forward to reading this book for a while now and was a little hesistant towards reading it. Honeslty a lot of the recenlty released books I've been looking forward to reading have been a total disappointment, so you can see why i was a little reluctant. Thankfully The Fine Art of Truth or Dare wasn't a total flop in my opinion. 
 Some of the book seemed to drag-on a bit but I guess maybe I'm just a little too impatient of a person and just wanted to see more of Ella and Alex's relationship since that's what the books blurb mostly talks about. All the Edward Willing Research she did bored me and I ended up skimming most of those parts but I did enjoy her 'talks' him. But, aside from that I really enjoyed how Ella talked about her family and life in the restaurant business. After reading this book I have to admit that i was a little envious of her family, reading how she described her family made me want to meet them in person especially Uncle Ricky. (Always making up new recipes to audition for Top Chef) 
 I wasn't sure how the book would end, (you know how sometimes you already know without even having to skip to the last chapter and find out?) Alex's action sometimes bothered me and I wasn't sure what to really think, but I guess not everything in life is crystal clear. Relationships aren't always smooth at the beginning and you 'scramble' for a while but that doesn't mean you stop trying of you really 'like' or 'love' that person, and I guess that's what this book ends up being about. To dare take a chance on someone you love. 
 Aside from that I felt the book didn't tie some loose ends...I would have liked to see what else happened with Ella's friends, I just felt like their was more to tell, and some parts weren't resolved. For that matter I wasn't even sure what grade Ella was in, so maybe since she wasn't a senior (that I'm almost certain she is not), I think maybe that's why Melissa Jensen didn't tie up some loose ends. I guess there is still space for more development? (I don't know if I believe that myself) 
 Well, seeing how she ended The Fine Art of Truth or Dare I hope there is a sequel or a companion novel because I would have really liked to see how the stories of Ella, Alex,Franke, Sadie, Daniel, and even Anna played out at the end.Like where they end up going to college. 
 Overall, this was a very good read, and wouldn't mind seeing more of these characters!!

 Thought I'd add this hear since this painting reminds me about the turning point in the book where things start to look up for Ella and I guess Alex too!!
