I absolutely hate cheating. This book tries to make it more palatable by showing how Ashton isn't herself when she's with Sawyer and is meant to be with Beau. Every cheater has an excuse, and it left me feeling yucky.
Also, the characters didn't seem particularly deep. I don't mean to be cruel, but I read this book a couple of weeks ago and barely remember it.

I've just read the uncut version of The Vincent Boys and I loved it! Beau is one bad boy and don't we ladies just love a bad boy!?
What I loved about this story is it is something that can and does happen in everyday life, it hits all the right boxes for me as a YA novel. Full review to come.

WARNING: Reading this book may cause watery eyes, uncontrollable sighing, warmth in your belly and lack of sleep! The best way to control these symptoms is to just read it all in one sitting and then move on to The Vincent Brothers so you can read more!
That is my plan and I'm sticking with it! I picked up Vincent Boys at 1AM last night because I was in the mood for a little contemp romance and figured I would read for thirty minutes and fall asleep *enter evil Abbi Glines laugh here* yep, Abbi laughs every time a reader picks up this book because she knows their little plan of "Oh, I'll just read a few chapters" will be blown to smithereens once they begin. Well played Abbi, well played.
I was so thoroughly in love with Ashton and Beau that I could not put the book down and read until 5:30AM. I quickly placed my Kindle on the nightstand and forced myself to sleep before my hubbies alarm went off so he wouldn't be clued into my obsession (FYI- I then tweeted about it and he busted me, ooops!).
Watching Ashton and Beau rekindle their friendship was a pleasure and the ensuing love triangle that played out is so very believable. You can be in love with more than one person and this is exactly how it happens. Abbi does such a great job of writing Ashton's emotions that you don't hate her for her indecision about the Vincent Boys, in fact I kinda envied her! There was a point where I dislike Sawyer but he was redeemed in my eyes and I look forward reading his story next.
As for the SWOON-o-meter I give these boys a 5 out of 5. I'm totally Team Beau in this book because he is as amazing as chocolate covered cherries which is pretty freaking amazing! He is a hot rebel boy who is so in love with Ashton that she wouldn't know what to do with herself if she understood the depth of his affection. Sawyer is the beautiful all-american good boy, intent on keeping his little woman safe, secure and happy. He is looking at the long term picture and while it sounds a bit boring it is totally sweet. He is certainly the one who mama and daddy want you to bring home. Beau, he is the one you sneak out the window for- not that I'm advocating this action ;)
One thing for me that totally stood out in this book is it is centered in LA- that's Lower Alabama for you non Bama folks. It's my old stomping ground, Gulf Shores, Mobile Bay..I have a high school love (and marriage) that played out at these locales so this endeared me to this book even more. That and the fact that Abbi is a die-hard Bama fan ;) Roll Tide!
I digress, I could go into so many things about this book that make it a must read but I don't want to give anything away so I will say you just need to go read it, like asap!
Just remember I gave you fair warning of the side effects- don't come crying to me when you're done! However, do come tell me what you think of it!!
I would rate this as Mature YA due to language and steamy (but not explicit) sexual content (this is the original version not the uncut)

Some parts in this are slow, others, great. I didn't like her good girl persona, it got on my nerves and I had to keep on stopping reading. That said, if you read it all at once it's a short book, and quick read. Many hated this for the cheating and stuff, and while I'm against it, I felt it was a very REAL element that was added to the book.too many girls in books tip toe around their feelings when realistically in real life many people are unfaithful in some way.. And even if she didn't sleep with him or talk to him, their constant pining for one another - proven by sawyer pointing out they always watched one another - is still a form of cheating so it's inevitable. Anyway, the story was great. Sad, happy, and horny little teens, and lots of betrayal. From everyone.

I heard a lot of praise about Abbi Glines but I avoided reading her books because they are labeled as young adult. The Vincent Boys was Kindle freebie some time ago, so I took it a sign that I should give her at last a try.
After reading this book, I definitely see what the fuss is about, Abbi Glines knows how to write sweet contemporary romance. The only thing that stopped me from rating it higher is that it has two things that annoy me very much: love triangle and cheating.

I really like the writing and the fast pace that these books are written in, but I can not deal with the cheating in this book and making it seem like it is okay, when it's not.
