Go Ahead, Ask Me

Nico Medina, Billy Merrell, . . Simon Pulse, $6.99 (0pp) ISBN 978-1-4169-8692-8

In the spirit of truth or dare, this pocketbook-sized collection features 500 questions, designed to be used like a party game—the introduction explains the consequences of “passing” on answering any questions (for example, you might have to “Give someone in the room a compliment”). There are offerings both thought provoking (“Could you be friends or lovers with someone whose views are at complete odds with yours?”) and silly (“Hot or not: I.H.O.P.”) as well as moral compass questions like “Your friend gets a speeding ticket while giving you a lift. Do you chip in to pay for the ticket?” Sex and other racy topics get plenty of attention as well: “Describe your ideal orgy. Participants? Location? Activities?” Teens will appreciate that the book doesn't shy from edgy material; parents maybe not. Ages 14–up. (Oct.)
