I still remember the day I came across my first Abbi Glines books. I was walking through Wal-Mart and I ended up where I always do, which is of course the book section. On those few shelves I saw Misbehaving and Hold on Tight both of them written by some author I had never even heard of. I didn't pick them up, nor did I read the backs. I ended up buying Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire that day instead, because it is one of my absolute favorite books. I've read that book so many times I fear it's going to fall apart completely. But when I got home I couldn't stop thinking about the author I'd never heard of. You see, I have heard of a lot of authors. It's actually rather unusual for me to not here of a YA author particularly. So I went to Google. And Goodreads. And Facebook. And then...I went to the library.
The first Abbi Glines book I cracked open was Because of Low. I come from a small town where the library never has a whole book series and half the time the first book to a series is nowhere to be found. This was one of those times. I did my research, so I knew these books were different characters and could be read out of order (which I love) so that's what I did. Because of Low was the first of many Abbi Glines books I've read to date, and there are still many I want to get my hands on. Abbi Glines has created a world I want to be a part of. Characters I want to be friends with. And opened me up to a whole new world of books. Reading her stories lead me to authors like Colleen Hoover, K.A Tucker, and many others. Some of my favorite authors and books. Books that stuck with me for a long time. Books that still stick with me.
Abbi Glines is one of the best. After reading most of the Sea Breeze series, I moved to the Too Far series, and then The Vincent Boys series. Next on my list is the Existence Trilogy. In all of those books, I have seen that Abbi Glines is not a one trick pony and that she is a person to look up to. The Sea Breeze series and the Too Far series are something I would say readers 17 years of age and up is for the best due to mature content. Or just a mature readers type of thing because I think I read it when I was 16. The Vincent Brothers however, if I had a 14 year old laying around somewhere I would give the book to her. I'm excited to read more, and see what else she has up her selves.
I highly recommend Abbi Glines. Her books are fun, flirty, sexy, with great characters, and a great sense of humor. In fact...I may go reread one now.
