 First off, The Fine Art of Truth or Dare has been compared to Anna and the French Kiss, which I loved, but I don't think the comparison is entirely fitting. This wasn't nearly as great as Anna. I really wanted to love this book, but it turned out to be just a cute contemporary: nothing exceptional. 
 Ella, the main character, is a huge art fanatic and enjoys drawing a lot. She's also kind of obsessed with this dead guy, a 19th-century painter named Edward Willing. She talks to a self-portrait of him and pretends he talks back, which is something that I found very annoying and weird, but eventually you get used to it, I guess. I could not relate to Ella at all--even though she loves art, like me, I just didn't like her very much. 
 The only character I really liked was Frankie, Ella's guy best friend. Then there's Sadie, her rich girl best friend, who was okay, and obviously the love interest Alex Bainbridge. Sometimes I didn't understand him at all, but he's still adorable and I imagined him looking like Alex Pettyfer. 
 Several chapters in the books are about the life of Edward Willing, which included letters, notes, and articles from a fictional book called Incomplete: The Life and Art of Edward Willing. Then (sometimes) followed a conversation Ella had with Edward's self-portrait. I skimmed through all those chapters (in case there was information that I needed to follow the actual story, which there wasn't). The book would've been so much better without these incredibly boring parts. 
 It was a cute read but nothing to get too excited about. It's also pretty thick for a contemporary romance in which not much actually happens, but I'm sure some contemporary-lovers will enjoy it.
