Vince

By J.M. Snyder

Loser. Outcast. Freak. At seventeen, the names no longer hurt Vince Sanford. He's different from others at his school and always has been -- the pep rallies, school dances, name-brand clothes and football games and fifth quarter parties, none of that interests him anymore.

There was a time when he did fit in, when his best friend had been Eric Somers, the most popular boy in school. They lived around the block from each other and were inseparable. It was never a question of was Eric eating over or was Vince staying the night -- they were one soul in two bodies, sharing two homes, two lives.

But something happened between them the summer before high school that tore their friendship apart, leaving Vince with an anger, a hatred, that he can't control. Now Eric wants back in his life again but Vince is afraid to give him a second chance.

Reviews for Vince

[hrstokes · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

To my mind, the best way to describe Vince, a novella by J.M. Snyder, is to say that it is very reminiscent of bittersweet chocolate. The character's were interesting and real, the storyline was cliche but not necessarily boring, and the ending - though not a fairytale happy ending - is, again, realistic. I wouldn't recommend this to all, especially those who are going into the story believing that this will be like all of Snyder's other upbeat male romances, but I will say that it does deserve praise for what it is: a small realistic glimpse into two men's world, both of whom have made mistakes and are trying to find their way to a contented ever after, if not a happy one.
