Dare Truth or Promise

By Paula Boock

A love story with a difference – girl meets girl, they fall in love. A powerful and turbulent novel about first love and crossing boundaries.

Louie is a prefect at Woodhaugh High. She plays hockey, passes exams and acts in school plays. She’s going to be a lawyer.

Willa lives in a pub. She had an affair with the daughter of a preacher and was kicked out of Miller Park College. She just wants to get through her final exams and become a chef. Quietly.

Then they fall in love – fast. And everything the girls were sure of – their families, their friends, their faith, their identities – are called into question. Willa and Louie face the consequences, difficulties and joys of their relationship.

A fast-paced, turbulent but ultimately uplifting story of deep, painful, heart-wrenching first love.

Written in Paula Boock’s crisp, direct style this gripping book has a strong appeal for both adults and teenagers.
