Nerve is a 2012 young adult techno-thriller by Jeanne Ryan.

Plot

Vee, a quiet junior in high school, decides to join NERVE, an online game of "truth or dare, without the truth", when she suspects her outgoing best friend and her crush are dating. Her entry, a coffee shop disaster, gains her a following, and she partners with Ian, an attractive junior from a different school with his own online following. The two perform riskier and more lucrative dares, gaining fame among the game's Watchers, until the stakes grow too high.
