A rom com about trying to have the summer of your life before everything changes - only to realize change might be exactly what you need...

When Juniper Nash Abreheart kissed Graham Isham for the first time, she had no idea it would nearly be the end of their friendship.

More specifically, she had no idea that the terrible, unforgivable thing she did to keep their summer fling a secret wouldn't just ruin their friendship, but also Graham's entire life. Now, months since the fallout, Junie and Graham spend most of their time sidestepping conversational landmines on the journey back to normalcy.

Junie is sure the strangeness between her and Graham is her biggest problem - until her mom hires Tallulah, her boyfriend's surly teenage daughter, to work at their family café, and then announces they'll all be moving in together at the end of the summer. The only bright spot ahead is Junie's dad's upcoming visit, just in time for her community theater production. And then poor turnout soon threatens that.

But when Junie starts to realize the feelings she swore to take care of last summer have lingered, saving her production and managing her hostile relationship with Tallulah might be the least of her problems. Graham isn't just off limits - their friendship has been mended to barely withstand a breeze, and the gale force of Junie's feelings could be just what breaks them.

Samantha Markum's You Wouldn't Dare is about the risks and triumphs that come with being brave enough to take a chance at what you really want, including love.
