Andy Tyler has been the class daredevil since middle school. Over the years, he's convinced his best friend, Jake Masterson, to perform some dangerous-looking stunts with him. But the dare they attempt on the night of their college graduation goes sideways. The firecrackers explode too soon and both of them end up with badly burned palms. But hey, nothing gets the "terrible duo" down for long, and they recuperate in style at Andy's family cottage in Nantucket. As the weeks go by, both Andy and Jake grow frustrated over the inability to use their hands for all sorts of daily activities - including getting off. So Andy begins a new series of dares that don't just cross the friendship line, they obliterate it. But what might be mere sexual relief to Andy is serious business to Jake, who only recently got over years of secret pining for his straight best friend. Inevitably, the burns heal, summer ends, and hearts are broken. To fix things, Andy will have to face the greatest dare of all.… (meer)

This was an alright read. The main characters were pretty similar but both seemed to care about one another. I didn't really love the whole daredevil aspect but I guess it drove the plot. I didn't really expect that Andy did all the dares in response to trying to get Jake's attention or whatever, honestly thought he was mentally ill - depression, bipolar, something like that - with all the talk of itchy feelings before doing something dumb. I guess it kind of made sense - he probably is mentally ill to some degree - not feeling like he fits in his own skin and whatnot. I was amused that his mum is aware of his daredevil acts.

What about that time you jumped a cliff at the quarry on your motorbike?”
I stared at her. “You knew about that?”
She gave me her don’t be foolish look. “Andrew, it’s on your YouTube channel.”
“You watch my YouTube channel?” I was horrified. What the fuck? Parental intrusion. Was that even legal?

Easton, Eli. Five Dares (p. 185). Pinkerton Road. Kindle Edition.


The ending with the public proposal seemed kind of dumb I mean Jake hadn't even told his mother, let alone anyone else that he's gay? I mean I know it was only half proposal, half promise but it seemed a little presumptuous although it obviously worked out in the end. It's mainly erotica, not a whole lot of plot but it was a bit funny, a lot moronic and fairly enjoyable to read - as long as you don't take it too seriously. 2.5 stars. ( )

Bi guys! :)

This is classic Easton, and I loved it. Jake and Andy, lifelong friends, suffer a prank gone very wrong. During recovery, as they learn the value of hands, the reader is shown previous pranks instigated by Andy and supported by Jake. Deeper and deeper it goes until I was reading through tears. It's good to the very last word. Five Dares caught me somewhere around the 50% mark and demanded my full attention. It's a beautifully organic story. The reader is trusted to understand what's happening in each guy's head and heart through dialogue and actions. *clutches heart* My favorite! ( )
