The ‘Dare Me’ Book Is Basically Like ‘Gone Girl’ for Teenagers

The real accomplishment — both in the Dare Me book and the TV series — seems to be the skill with which high school life is portrayed. Sure, not everyone had a full-on murder investigation going on in their school, but we’re all familiar with the drama that comes with being a teenager.

“There’s something dangerous about the boredom of teenage girls,” Addy muses at one point in the trailer. The danger is very, very real — and so is Addy’s desire for something more after high school, Beth’s plot for revenge, and Collette’s mysterious connection between the teenage and adult worlds.
