He was strict, but it was obvious he loved his kid. I really appreciated that his dad wasn’t this evil villain. Andy’s parents were well-sketched, though. I wanted to know a little more about Jake’s mom and his relationship with her. Andy was clearly the more cocky of the two, and that came across in his narration.
It can be tricky to give the MCs distinct voices, but Andy and Jake did not “sound” the same. I think we can all remember being 22 and crushing hard on someone we consider unattainable. The MCs have great personalities and are relatable. I loved the premise of the story going in and found myself laughing many times while reading. Jake is in way over his head (because FEELINGS), but Andy seems oblivious to Jake’s emotional turmoil. Jake even rims Andy in the kitchen, which, yeah, goes WAY beyond a convenient blow job. The rest of the summer is filled with sex and more sex. When Andy first proposes the 69 idea, Jake freaks, but eventually he gives in. Jake doesn’t even dare tell Andy he’s gay. Andy, who’s “straight” ( *ahem*), has no clue that Jake’s been crushing on him forever. That’s when Andy has his BIG IDEA: he and Jake can just suck each other off. The only problem? They can’t use their hands.Ī housekeeper and nurse are there in the mornings, but the guys can’t very well ask for a wank now, can they? So the two friends end up at Andy’s summer cottage. Jake was on his way to California to begin his first grown-up job, and Andy was going to complete an internship at a law firm before beginning law school at Harvard.īut Andy insists they make the best of it. He eats live caterpillars, skateboards off roofs, and holds burning firecrackers in his hands.īut the last dare doesn’t work out so well despite Andy’s extensive “research,” the firecracker goes off sooner than anticipated, and he and Jake end up with second degree burns on their palms the summer after their senior year in college.
It’s all a game, and the audience goes wild. Andy pulls daring stunts, and Jake is there to cajole and plead.
The Andy & Jake show is a local attraction. I beta read this book and loved every page of it.įive Dares is a sexy, funny, and charming best-friends-to-lovers story featuring two irresistible MCs.Īndy is the Show Stopper, Jake his loyal sidekick.
