That all changes when a new coach arrives in town to whip the squad into shape and drive a wedge between the two girls. Beth is the manipulative queen bee, Addy her little minion. Roll Call: Beth, Addy, and Coachīeth Cassidy and Addy Hanlon are high-school cheerleaders and best friends.
Read on, if you wanna know everything that goes down in the book, too. I devoured Dare Me in one sitting a few years ago, so I already know who committed the crime. It's a subversive story about the power dynamics in female friendships, described by USA as: "part coming-of-age story, part small-town drama, part murder mystery."ĭid I forget to mention that someone dies in this book? Someone dies, you guys. If you're a fan of Bring It On, I should warn you that Dare Me is way less campy and much more dark and twisty.

This is why I found Dare Me - the 2012 critically acclaimed novel by Megan Abbott that's been adapted as a 10-episode series on USA - so compelling. I love a good read about teen jealousy, betrayal, and the ugly extremes people will go to in order to rise to the top - especially one that lays bare the insular world of high-school cheerleaders.
