Seventeen-year-old twins, Andrew and Andrea Morris, have always been close. They share everything—from their friends to a room—and they both enjoy star positions on their high school’s soccer teams. All’s right with the twins...or is it?
When new student Ryder Coltrane moves from Texas to their small New York town, he spins Andrew’s world upside down. All of Andrew’s past relationship troubles begin to make sense and his true feelings start to click into place after Ryder comes out to him. His friendship with Ryder turns secretively romantic, but secrets, they soon find out, are hard to keep. Once rumors start to fly, so-called friends turn on them, and the boys’ relationship turns into a bomb about to explode. But Andrew never expected it would be his own twin, Andrea, holding a lighter to ignite it.

Andy Squared has a lot going for it. Jennifer Lavoie has a smooth writing style. The characters she creates are believable, the dialogue is fresh, and there's true chemistry between the romantic leads. I know you're thinking, "That sounds great. Why 3 stars then?"While I don't regret buying or reading the book, the issue I had with it was that it took way too long for the conflict to get going. It felt right till the end that there was nothing really at stake. Andy was coming to grips with a new way of looking at his life. There was fear at what would happen when everyone found out, but the tension isn't building. Andy is too happy for too long without real opposition. Yes, there are a few scenes that hint at issues (I.e., at Charlie's house), but they don't go far enough in my opinion. There were too many times I was able to set the book down, and not feel compelled to read further.
When we finally do get to the big reveal, it happens, and then there's quick resolution. It was largely unsatisfying.
Lavoie is a good writer. I will try her again. I hope that her next book establishes the stakes about 100 pages earlier.

Andy Squared eBook Jennifer Lavoie Reviews
My review is also on my blog Tomes Devotee under Andy Squared
High school seniors Andrew and Andrea are as close as you can ever get. Not only are they twins, but for last couple of months they've been sharing a room since Andy's room is being renovated. The two are quite popular at school, Andy goes through the girl population like water. They are on the school soccer teams and Andrea is hoping they get a soccer scholarship so they can be together right into college.
Texas transplant Ryder comes into town and things take a turn in a different direction. Andy is drawn to Ryder like a moth to the flame and he just can't understand his attraction to Ryder...yet. The girls love him and want to be with him, Andy's best bud Charlie is jealous of Ryder because not only do the girls want to be with him, but so does Andy. Andrea is upset because now Andy doesn't really want to go to the same college as her, nor does he want to go on a soccer scholarship. To say she's pissed is an understatement. Not only does she totally ignore Andy telling her it's not what he wants she does something sneaky behind his back.
Andy finally acknowledges his feelings for Ryder and the two start a secret relationship, but when they are caught, those who were thought to be good and trustworthy may actually be the most viscous of them all.
I liked this book, Jennifer writes in a smooth flowing manner. The story is so relevant to today's happenings. I found it touching and sometimes I was angry. I don't know if I would have handled Andrea the same way as a parent knowing how vicious other kids can be. I also don't know that I liked how it was stressed that Andrew had sex with different girls all the time. Promiscuity is not something I find good whether you're straight or gay.
All in all a good read.
This is a wonderful romance. It is refreshing to see a teenage romance that doesn't adhere to the typical protype. Well written. A modern romance.
Terrific story. Looking forward to this author's next book.
I really enjoyed this tale of young sexuality. It seemed very honest to me, both the way Andy, our young protagonist, deals with his first attraction to another boy, and the way the kids at school blow hot and cold depending on their feelings of the moment. It all felt very real to me, whether I loved the two main boys or hated their detractors.
The love scenes were tender and sweet, and are perfect for someone who's not used to read m/m romance.
ANDY SQUARED is a phenomenal debut! The story follows twins Andrew and Andrea who, at the start of the novel, are as close as any siblings can be. But all that changes when Andy decides he no longer shares his controlling sister's desire to attend the same college together and play competitive soccer.
Andy also seems to be having difficulty sustaining any relationships. A popular jock, he dates a lot of girls. But every time they get too close, Andy pushes them away and moves on to the next.
And then handsome Texas teen Ryder comes to town and awakens feelings in Andy that he's never consciously explored.
I won't spoil the rest. But the story is a fascinating coming of age novel that explores coming to terms with sexual orientation, sibling rivalry, and discovering what true friendship is all about, told in very effective prose.
I would definitely recommend this novel and anxiously await Jennifer Lavoie's next effort!
