Daring the Bad Boy

Endless Summer, Book 1

De: Monica Murphy

Narrado por: Emily Ellet, Tim Paige

Annie McFarland is sick of being a shy nobody. A session at summer camp seems like the perfect opportunity to reinvent herself - gain some confidence, kiss a boy, be whoever she wants to be. A few days in, she's already set her sights on über-hottie Kyle. Too bad her fear of water keeps her away from the lake, where Kyle is always hanging out.

Jacob Fazio is at Camp Pine Ridge after one too many screw-ups. Junior counseling seems like punishment enough, but the rigid no-fraternizing-with-campers rules harsh his chill. When a night of Truth or Dare gets him roped into teaching Annie how to swim, she begs him to also teach her how to snag Kyle.

Late-night swim sessions turn into late-night kissing sessions...but there's more on the line than just their hearts. If they get caught, Jake's headed straight to juvie, but Annie's more than ready to dare him to reveal the truth.

cute teen camp romance

clean, fun teen camp romance, nice quick read. Funny at times. Voice actors were very good. Just enough drama without being over the top.

Sweet listen

It’s a sweet listen, not what I’m used to from this author but overall a fairly quick and easy listen with good narration.

It was ok

Not what I expected it to be and not my usual listen. It was a cute story, kind of a coming of age. I initially picked it because I thought it would be a RomCom but there wasn't one chuckle. Pretty easy read if you need something easy.

Cute story

It’s not my usual read, but I did enjoy it! Cute love story! Totally worth the read.

Good story if you’re a teenager

I kind of think that maybe this book was put in the wrong section. It’s about kids at a camp and their in high school and I kept waiting in the book for it to say 15 years later or whatever but it never did. But I finished listening to it and it was a cute book just maybe goes in a different section I don’t think it was meant to go in the adult section but again it’s a good book

A kids summer love story

Heartwarming lightweight teenage love. It was entertaining to listen to. Makes you reminisce of your highschool crush :D

So cute!

I read this book as a younger teen & it’s even better now! The audio really helped me remember what they “looked like” in my mind. So freaking cute!

Great young love

This story is a great listen. The narrators did a fantastic job with the multiple characters, easy to recognize the character changes in dialogue. The story has mild cursing including a few F bombs but it makes it more realistic to real life high school situations. I love the stories where the “bad boy” isn’t really a bad boy at heart, just crumby situations. Mentions of sex but not with the main characters or in detail.

Super cute

Not big on YA romance but this one was super cute. I suggest everyone read/listen to it.

Sweet and meaningful

This is an excellent story depicting real first love. The characters are fully developed and the story line is excellent. It is a fun read that is uplifting. I love that it is truly a young adult book with a sweet storyline.
